Istanbul (Turkey)
Straddling either side of the Bosphorus Strait, the city is a warren of busy markets, magnificent mosques, and other historic buildings. All of this is interspersed with famous landmarks including the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. It is the only transcontinental city in the entire world. On the western side of the Bosphorus Strait, you’re in Europe, but if you cross to the other side then you’re setting foot in Asia!
