Istanbul has very rich history and it is very evident as you walk on its iconic structures. With a history over 3,000 years it became a melting pot of cultures. From Roman Empire to Byzantine and to Ottoman Empire, you will see that each structure were all well preserved.
Lies between two continents, where east meets west, to me, Istanbul is one of the world's culturally interesting city. It's the fascinating mix of cultures that makes this city irresistible, the arts and architecture; the local life; culinary heritage and the living history that are rolled into one.
