Welcome to the crossroads of the ancient world – where East met West during the time of the Silk Road that led from China to Istanbul. Historic and modern, European and Asian — that's Istanbul. The city at the junction of two continents is home to ancient structures like the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque in the Old City, as well as modern businesses, hotels, restaurants and nightlife in the New City. The sight of mosques and bustling bazaars and the smell of incense and spices are common in Istanbul. Across the Bosporus Strait, the Asian side of Istanbul offers a glimpse into everyday, residential life. Top attractions include: Cannon Gate Palace / Old Palace (Topkapi Sarayi / Eski Saray); Hagia Eirene - Porcelain Collection; Old Istanbul; the archeological museum; Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmet Mosque); Dolmabahce Palace / Museum; Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya); Panorama from Galata Tower; Suleiman Mosque / Suleymaniye Mosque; Kariye Camii - Land walls; and the Kariye Camii - mosaics. Booking a Turkish bath while in Istanbul is always a fun and refreshing thing to do.
