I'm in love with this city it's so interesting you don't get enough of it. You have the modern part and the old part i felt i was in a fairytale story. The best food ever and the night-life is amazing. It's a real shopping paradise with luxury product's. Was in many city's but Istanbul is the best!!

I love this city so much that I've been to visit three times this year, and a fourth trip in three months. Coming from the U.S makes for a very long trip but that doesn't stop me. There is no way to describe Istanbul that has not already been said. It is magical. Anyone who goes there can attest to the feeling while being there. A crossroad between the east and west, the culture, music, food, the people, and night life--there is no other city like it. Taksim is a must see and of course, Sultanahmet for the historical sites. Taksim, Ortakoy, and Bebek for the nightlife. And if you have time, go live as the Turks do, Anatolian side. Discover all the places and hangouts popular to the locals. You might find it difficult to go back to your own country. :)

A wonderful place to visit once in a lifetime. Always wanted to see certain historical spots and places like the blue mosque and topkapi. The food is good.

It is a beautiful ancient city which is live up to its modernisation. People are great except after 11Pm in night where it is not safe to go outside for a foreigner.Among the main historical monuments Topkapi palace, St.Sophia and Blue Mosque are a must to visit. Over all a great city for 7/10 day visit.

fantastic place
