Istanbul is the most populous city in Turkey and the country’s economic, political, and cultural capital.

Istanbul is the most populous city in Turkey and the country’s economic, political, and cultural capital. It is also one of Europe’s oldest cities, with a history dating back to 2,500 years ago. As a result, Istanbul has become an important hub for tourism and trade between Western Asia and Eastern Europe.

Istanbul is located on two continents: Europe and Asia; it is situated at 33°19′ north latitude by 36°17′ east longitude on land measuring about 1,260 km² (544 sq mi). This makes it one of only three cities worldwide that straddle two continents!

The city is located on both sides of the Bosphorus Strait.

Istanbul is located on both sides of the Bosphorus Strait. It is Turkey’s most populous city and its economic, political, and cultural capital. The town was initially founded by Constantine the Great in 324 AD as Byzantium (Greek: Βυζάντιον), but its name was later changed to Istanbul (Turkish: İstanbul).

The Bosphorus Bridge connects the two sides of the city.

The Bosphorus Bridge is a suspension bridge connecting the European and Asian sides of Istanbul. It’s one of the longest bridges in Europe, with a length of 1,850 m and an arch span of 1,150 m.

The bridge was constructed to connect two districts: Beşiktaş on the European side and Aksaray on the Asian side. It has been designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 2006 because it represents an architectural masterpiece with slender towers and arches resembling ancient bridges.

The historical center of Istanbul was built on seven hills (seven castles), now city districts.

The historical center of Istanbul was built on seven hills (seven castles), now city districts. Therefore, the hills are known as the Seven Hills of Istanbul.

The main street, which runs through all seven hills, is called “Bosphorus.” It’s also called “Adalar Caddesi” or Grand Bazaar Street in English. This street has been established since ancient times. It has been a major trade route between Europe and Asia since at least 1600 BC when it was first discovered by travelers from Greece who sailed along its shores before coming ashore at present-day Istanbul proper, where they met with Phoenicians who had settled there during their travels across Africa and Asia Minor during classical antiquity!

One of its most famous landmarks is Hagia Sophia, a former Greek Orthodox church converted into an Ottoman mosque in 1453.

One of its most famous landmarks is Hagia Sophia, a former Greek Orthodox church converted into an Ottoman mosque in 1453. Hagia Sophia is located in the Sultanahmet district of Istanbul and is one of Turkey’s most important tourist attractions.

The building was originally built between 532 and 537 AD by Emperor Justinian as part of his plan to restore Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) to its former glory after it had been devastated by an earthquake in 602. However, when he died unexpectedly before finishing construction on his ambitious project, his wife Theodora took over and finished it herself!

The Dolmabahce Palace is one of the main historical monuments in Istanbul, in addition to Topkapı Palace and Aya Sofya Museum.

The Dolmabahce Palace is one of the main historical monuments in Istanbul, in addition to Topkapı Palace and Aya Sofya Museum. It was built in the 18th century by the Ottoman sultan Abdulhamid II, who gave it to his son-in-law Mustafa III as a gift for his wedding with Eugenie de Montijo.

The palace complex consists of two parts: one is a large rectangular building (Dünya Türbesi), on top of which stands another building with an octagonal tower (Eski Dünya Türbesi). Both buildings were constructed between 1737–1740 according to designs by Swiss architect Jean Baptiste Mansard.

UNESCO designated Istanbul a World Heritage Site (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
