Istanbul, Turkey is known as the city where east meets west because it's spread across two continents: Europe and Asia. In this video, we're giving you an overview of the European and Asian sides to give you a better sense of what each is like. And if you're trying to decide where to stay during your visit to Istanbul, we have you covered! Most tourists only visit the European side - with very good reason! - as most of the main attractions are located there. It's exciting, walkable, and you'll love the energy and hustle bustle. But seriously, you don't want to miss out on visiting the Asian side as well, which is slower paced and has a more local feel. Whatever you do, a ferry ride is Istanbul's cheapest thrill, so make sure you get out on the water to catch the best views of this unique and fascinating city.
