Istanbul is where Europe meets Asia. You can take a ferry from Europe across the Bosphorus Strait and you are then in Asia.
You can visit the Grand Bazaar. Buy your spices, souvenirs and delicious turkish delight here. However if nightlife is what you are looking for. Then head towards Taksim Square. Here you can find many bars, restuarants and some have live music too.
Don’t forget to visit the Dolmabahce Palace in all its splendour. With its amazing views over the Bosphorus, this was the home for six sultans. The palace is a look into the opulence of the past Turkish Empire.
