Istanbul, Turkey is a city full of history. It was the capital to three empires – The Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman. As a result, there is a wealth of historic and religious places to see and wander. It is also one of the few places in the world that you can reach two continents by crossing a river — you can be in Europe one minute and then Asia the next.
Go see the architecture, visit a traditional Turkish bath, smoke a nargile and take a cruise around the Borophorus.
