Istanbul

Istanbul
is a city in Turkey that straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus
Strait. The Old City reflects cultural influences of the many empires
that once ruled here. In the Sultanahmet district, the open-air,
Roman-era Hippodrome was for centuries the site of chariot races, and
Egyptian obelisks remain. The iconic Byzantine Hagia Sophia features a
soaring dome and Christian mosaics.
