Istanbul is the most populous city in Turkey. It is also a city that holds extreme historical importance not only to the country, but to the world. Known in the past as Byzantium and Constantinople, it used to be the capital of the Roman Empire. The fall of Constantinople in 1453 is of great historical significance, as it marked the end of the Roman Empire and Istanbul’s new position as the capital of the Ottoman Empire until 1923. Today, it is a city fraught with the elements and the fragments of its history that coexist with modernity and the present. Far from being stuck in the past, Istanbul is a vibrant city that looks to the future. Whether you are into sports, music, art or gastronomy events, there are plenty of things to choose from happening year-round.
