Istanbul, historically also known as Byzantium and Constantinople is the largest city in Turkey and fifth largest city proper in the world with a population of 12.6 million. Istanbul is also a megacity, as well as the cultural and financial centre of Turkey.
The city covers 39 districts of the Istanbul province. It is located on
the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbour known as the
Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country.
It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia)
sides of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world
that is situated on two continents.
Istanbul has two international airports: The larger one is the Atatürk International Airport
located in the Yeşilköy district on the European side, about 24
kilometres (15 mi) west from the city center. When it was first built,
the airport was situated at the western edge of the metropolitan area
but now lies within the city bounds. The smaller one is the Sabiha Gökçen International Airport located in the Kurtköy district on the Asian side, close to the Istanbul Park GP Racing Circuit.
Istanbul is becoming increasingly colourful in terms of its rich
social, cultural, and commercial activities. While world famous pop
stars fill stadiums, activities like opera, ballet and theater continue
throughout the year. During seasonal festivals, world famous
orchestras, chorale ensembles, concerts and jazz legends can be found
often playing to a full house. The Istanbul International Film Festival
is one of the most important film festivals in Europe,while the
Istanbul Biennial is another major event of fine arts.
Istanbul Archaeology Museum is adjacent to the Topkapı Palace.
Istanbul is one of the most important tourism spots of Turkey.
There are thousands of hotels and other tourist oriented industries in
the city, catering to both vacationers and visiting professionals. In
2006 a total of 23,148,669 tourists visited Turkey, most of whom
entered the country through the airports and seaports of Istanbul and
Antalya.
The Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Turkish: Sultanahmet Camii) is the
