About Istanboel

Istanbul ligt aan beide oevers van de Bosporus, met Byzantijnse en Ottomaanse monumenten, drukke bazaars en veerboten tussen twee continenten.

Op het historische schiereiland staan de grootste bezienswaardigheden. De Hagia Sophia, de Blauwe Moskee en het Hippodroom kijken in Sultanahmet naar elkaar, de Basilicacisterne ligt onder de straten en het Topkapı-paleis strekt zich uit over de heuvel boven de Gouden Hoorn. Een korte wandeling verderop handelen de Grote Bazaar en de Kruidenbazaar al eeuwenlang, en de Süleymaniye-moskee, gebouwd door de grote Ottomaanse architect Sinan, kroont een van de zeven heuvels van de stad.

Top-ranked sights in Istanboel: Dolmabahce Palace (Dolmabahce Sarayi), Bosphorus, Bosphorus Bridge (Bogazici Koprusu).
