Review & FAQ:
A visit to Turkey wouldn't be complete without spending some time in Istanbul. With its unique location straddling Europe and Asia, the city is a living melting pot of East and West. Most of the city's best-known sites are found in the Old City, but the entire city skyline is a jaw-dropping mixture of Byzantine churches and palaces adorned with beautiful mosaics and frescoes, regal Ottoman mosques, and modern skyscrapers. Aside from its impressive architecture and fascinating history, the city offers world-class museums and art galleries, a buzzing nightlife scene, and many of the best restaurants in the country.
