Istanbul City – The Most Complete Cinematic City Tour as of 2021

Описание: Istanbul is currently one of the biggest cities in the world and the most populated city in Europe with more than 15 million people living there.

It’s one of the most important global transportation hubs, that connects Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. At least 45 million people move throughout Istanbul airports every year with a maximum capacity of up to 200 million.

Some of these people use the city as a stopover, while others fly here to Istanbul as their final destination for a vacation. This keeps the city busy and full of people at all times of the year.

It’s actually the 3rd most popular tourist destination in Europe. At least 40% of all visits to Turkey are to the city of Istanbul.

The rich cultural and historical heritage and the many tourist attractions make it a desirable destination for every traveler.

Located on two continents at the same time, it’s a more than a thousand-year-old mix of Roman, Byzantine and Osman cultures. This includes old mosques and modern skyscrapers, grand palaces and poor ghettos. Incompatible things merge into a single piece - and this is what makes the city so unique.

In this video, I’m going to take you through the most exciting and important landscapes and attractions of Istanbul. You will have a chance to dive deep into the history of the true city of contrasts.
