|  | Istanbul is a city on two continents, where Asia and Europe meet in a great mix.
There is also a mix of old and new. With a long and interesting history the city has many old buldings, mosques and museums for the visitor to explore. In other parts you will find nice cafés and restaurants and modern shoppingcentres for great shopping.
Situated by the water and with its many mosques making wonderful siluttes against the sky it is one of the most beautiful big cities in the world. It is a city to fall in love with!
I visited Istanbul in 2003 and 2004 and the currency used in my tips is therefore the old Turkish Lira. To compare with todays currency you just have to delete six zeros. |

Wonderful pics and excellent tips! | sapodilly Wed Nov 7, 2007 20:41 UTC
That was an awful description. The Suleymaniye Mosque is one of the most beautiful mosques in the world, with its uniquely regal white, red and gold interior. If you can only see one sight in your trip to Istanbul, see the Suleymaniye Mosque. | angiebabe Mon Oct 1, 2007 02:39 UTC
