About This File

Straddling the Bosphorus, its skyline studded with domes and minarets, Istanbul is one of the truly great romantic cities. Its history tracks back from Byzantium to Constantinople to its place at the head of the Ottoman Empire. Today it hums as Turkey's cultural heart and good-time capital.

 

In this sprawling, continent-spanning city you can tramp the streets where crusaders and janissaries once marched; admire mosques that are the most sublime architectural expressions of Islamic piety; peer into the sultan's harem; and hunt for bargains in the Kapali

I was there last year in september, just before the attacks. It's a very chaotic, east meets west kind of city. I loved it! I created it because of the beautiful geographical setting, providing really nice views. Cool pics at www.istanbul.com

Istanbul is just great. you should go there yourself, in stead of basing your judgements on those of other people

Istanbul is just a great city! Terrorist attacks can happen in anywhere in the world. Don't forget about 11 September; is New York a bad city too??

I,ve been to Istanbul and I disagree with whateverwhatever24. Istanbul is a great city and the terrosist attacks were against the the British Embassy of Istanbul. Istanbul as a whole was not targeted, only the British Embassy. The mosques and Muslims are what Isay are the best things in Istanbul.
