Istanbul stands between Europe and Asia and is a once in a life-time 'must visit'. Istanbul, was formerly known as Constantinople, and before that Byzantium. It was also home to the largest building in the world for a thousand years and Haghia Sophia is still standing despite earthquakes. The design of Mosques actually comes from this building which was originally a church built in 535AD. You should not miss this city.
