IF THE WORLD WAS A SINGLE STATE, ISTANBUL WOULD BE ITS CAPITAL – NAPOLEON
'Queen of the Bosphorus' with almost 9,000 years of history, 4 different empires and the core of the ancient Silk Road, Istanbul is a fascinating melting pot with a very unique urban character, and the only city in the world that links two continents: Europe and Asia. With numerous great flight connections and only a one hour time difference from most European or Middle Eastern countries, there is no other destination as close that offers such a radical change in culture and atmosphere. Voted No. 1 city in Europe, No. 2 in the world, Istanbul is becoming one of the top destination for the MICE industry, with state of the art meeting facilities and some of the best world class hotels, venues, restaurants and clubs.
