But interestingly, during its existence it has generally richer and more prosperous than Rome.
Istanbul is also a really important gateway in the economy and general geography of the world. It is considered to be a central location where the eastern world meets the western world. This makes Istanbul one of the most diverse cities on earth. We have ancient architecture blended seamlessly with modern skyscrapers and buildings.
If their way of life is so influenced by the rest of the world, try to imagine how delicious their dishes would be. The typical Turkish meal is a condensation of centuries of influence and adaptation. You will absolutely love them.
Another wonderful feature of the city is its vibrant nightlife. These guys know how to have fun. A typical night when properly planned in Istanbul is not short of epic. It’s one party after the other, from one pub to the other, and generally people relaxing and having fun.
