Straddling Asia and Europe, which city was once Constantinople, as famously put into song by They Might Be Giants?

"Istanbul was Constantinople/Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople." When you visit Turkey's most dynamic city, you can explore both the "European side," home to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, and the "Asian side," home to the palaces of Khedive and Beylerbeyi. Wherever you wind up, enjoy your "Turkish delight on a moonlit night."
