The splendid city of Istanbul has many unique and fascinating features. It is the only city in the world reaching across two continents, with its old city in Europe and modern Istanbul situated in Asia, separated by the Bosphorus. It is also unique in having had capital status during two successive empires, Christian Byzantine and Islamic Ottoman, and the legacy from both is visible in the modern city today. The charm and character of Istanbul lies in its endless variety. It’s fascinating history has bequeathed the city a vivid inheritance of Byzantine ruins, splendid palaces, ancient mosques and churches, hamams (bath-houses) and exotic bazaars. Additionally Istanbul exudes trendy bars and nightclubs, western boutiques, office blocks, and elegant suburbs. The city, 2010 European Capital of Culture, also hosts many events including concerts and exhibitions of internationally acknowledged artists and a variety of festivals.
