Istanbul is the only city in the world spanning two continents, with the Bosphorus strait dividing its European and Asian sides. First-time visitors are often surprised by how much ground the city covers, from the historic peninsula around Sultanahmet to the modern skyline of Levent.
Most travelers split their time between the old city (Sultanahmet, Fatih), the lively Beyoglu district around Taksim and Istiklal Avenue, and the waterfront neighborhoods along the Bosphorus like Besiktas and Ortakoy. Public transport, taxis, and private transfers all connect these areas easily.
