The Blue Mosque, Roman Hippodrome, Haghia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar, Spice Market, and the Bosphorus all mark the historical past of this ancient capital, from the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. Istanbul never fails to surprise - with its layer upon layer of history, hospitable people and glamorous nightlife; adding up to a most memorable vacation.
