In the Turkish city of Istanbul, two suspension bridges over the Bosphorus Channel connect Europe with Asia.

The sultans ruled from the Topkapi Palace, dating back to the fifteenth century. Explore the palace to find a splendidly decorated Throne Room, a Circumcision Room, a Harem and, in the Treasury, the large, priceless Topkapi Diamond, also named the “Spoonmaker’s Diamond.”

Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar pre-dates the Topkapi Palace and is the largest indoor bazaar in the world.

Other notable sights include the Blue Mosque whose walls are decorated with hand-painted Iznik tiles; the remains of the Roman Hippodrome arena, once the scene of chariot races; and the domed church of Aya Sofya.
