Turkey’s biggest city and 2010 European Culture Capital is ranked 4th Best Affordable Europe Vacations and 11th place at Best European Vacations listing.
U.S. News Travel says, “Istanbul has a split personality: Half of Istanbul rests in Europe, the other half in Asia. Notable sites like the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque bear evidence of the two converging worlds. For a taste of Istanbul's lively culture—which is unlike anything you'd experience in Western European cities—spend a few hours hunting for bargains in the Grand Bazaar”.
