Istanbul has enchanted millions of visitors. Its location spread across two continents testifies to the uniqueness of this place, and so does the diversity to be noticed at every step we take – in terms of culture, economy, and finally, in customs. Istanbul is Turkey’s largest city, boasting attractions, including but not limited to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace, Dolmabahçe Palace, Basilica Cistern, and Galata Tower. On the other hand, the sounds coming from the numerous mosques and the Grand Bazaar – one of the most characteristic points of the city on the Bosphorus Strait – are the loudest from the city’s audio landscape.
