About Istanbul

Istanbul strekker seg over Europa og Asia ved Bosporos, med bysantinske og osmanske monumenter, travle basarer og ferger mellom kontinentene.

Den historiske halvøya rommer de største landemerkene. Hagia Sofia, Den blå moské og Hippodromen vender mot hverandre i Sultanahmet, Basilikacisternen ligger under gatene, og Topkapi-palasset brer seg over høyden over Gullhornet. En kort spasertur unna har Den store basar og Kryddermarkedet handlet i århundrer, og Süleymaniye-moskeen, bygget av den store osmanske arkitekten Sinan, kroner en av byens sju åser.

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