Istanbul is the most visited city in the world, with over 20 million foreign visitors in 2023, surpassing London and Dubai. The city is located along the Bosporus, a strait of water that divides Istanbul and connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara which then merges into the Aegean Sea and eventually the Mediterranean Sea.

Istanbul, home to 16 million residents (compared to NYC's 8.4 million), is the most populous city in Europe, bridging the Bosporus Strait between Europe and Asia. Established as Byzantium in the 7th century BCE, it became the imperial capital under Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, initially named New Rome and later, in 330 AD, Constantinople. In 1930, the city was renamed Istanbul.
