The city where East meets West, a skyline of minarets and domes straddling two continents, with some of the world's greatest Byzantine and Ottoman heritage.
Istanbul is one of the world's most extraordinary cities, the only major metropolis that spans two continents, with 2,000+ years of history compressed into its seven hills. The historic peninsula (Sultanahmet) contains the greatest concentration of UNESCO monuments in any single neighbourhood on earth: Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and the Basilica Cistern. The Grand Bazaar, 4,000 shops under one roof since 1455, remains the world's oldest and largest covered market. And across the Bosphorus, modern Istanbul roars with rooftop bars, contemporary galleries and the world's best meze.
Whether you are planning a high-stakes executive retreat or a massive international summit, this location offers the infrastructure and the inspiration to make it unforgettable.
