Istanbul

Modern enough to feel comfortable, traditional enough to be interesting

Istanbul today features an outstanding combination of history and modernity. Istanbul’s rich cultural heritage and immense size mean that there is always something exciting happening.

The meeting point of Europe and Asia over many centuries, the matchless skyline of Istanbul, formed by the creative genius of Byzantine and Ottoman architects, also symbolizes the cultural diversity of the city today. With a unique combination of accessibility, variety, and natural beauty, Istanbul has the true mix for every taste.

The silhouette of minarets, the ‘seven hills’, and, of course, the Bosphorus create a vibrant and beautiful backdrop for events. Istanbul has a lot more to offer than its rich history. In the narrow streets winding between historic buildings and ancient palaces, a pulsating modern culture has been thriving.
