What kind of city is Istanbul?

Istanbul, which spans Europe and Asia, is Turkey's largest city, largest port, industrial and commercial center and major tourist destination.

Istanbul is a heavy history book. As the capital of Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire and Ottoman Empire, it retains splendid historical heritage and fascinates all people who come here. Its museums, churches, palaces, mosques, markets and wonderful natural scenery are picturesque and fascinating. At this time, you will deeply understand why people chose such an extraordinary place centuries ago, and you will sincerely sigh that Istanbul is the most beautiful city in the world.

In the past two thousand years, it has been linked with many important events in the political, religious and artistic history of Eurasia. This city has preserved a number of masterpieces of ancient architecture, many of which have had a great influence on Europe and Asia, and are extremely valuable cultural heritages in human history.

The roads in the suburbs of Istanbul are very modern, but the streets in the old city are very narrow and fluctuate with the terrain. Most of the streets are paved with gravel, winding through ancient buildings, which makes people feel as if they have entered just visiting and witnessed the distant past. Historically, it was a commercial center, where goods from the Asian Silk Road and the Middle East and Europe formed a distribution center.

At night, all the lights on the bridge are on, and the lights on both sides of the bridge are brilliant, like fire dragons flying, full of magical colors, which triggers people's memories of the long years of this historic city.
