Swissôtel The Bosphorus - Luxury hotel - Istanbul Local Guide

Istanbul is such a diverse city that it’s almost impossible to split it up into definable districts, but one distinction that can be made is between the European and Asian sides, which are separated by the Bosphorus Strait.

Stretching from the Black Sea, straddling the Bosphorus, touching the Sea of Marmara, and with an estimated population of 16 million, Istanbul has become a city of unlimited scope. With a wealth of historical sights and rich cultural diversity, this is a destination not to be missed.
