Istanbul, Turkish stanbul, originally Constantinople, ancient Byzantium’s largest city and main seaport, is Turkey’s largest city and main seaport. It served as the seat of both the Byzantine and Ottoman empires. Istanbul, the old walled city, is located on a triangular peninsula that connects Europe and Asia. Istanbul has stood amid clashing surges of religion, culture, and imperial power for over 2,500 years, sometimes as a bridge, sometimes as a barrier. For the most of those years, it was one of the world’s most sought cities. Let’s now dive into the details of the Istanbul guided tours.
