About Istanbul
Straddling the Bosphorus across Europe and Asia, Istanbul combines a walkable historic peninsula with a large modern city reached by tram, metro and public ferries, which double as a way to see the water. Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, palaces and covered markets sit close together in Sultanahmet. Spring and autumn are mild, summers hot, winters grey and wet with occasional snow.
