Called “The City on Seven Hills,” Istanbul is the only transcontinental city in the world that geographically straddles both Asia and Europe across the Bosporus Strait. Istanbul is the largest metropolis in Turkey, with a population of 15.5 million people. It is among the fastest-growing tourist destinations on the planet, drawing people who want to experience firsthand the cultural influences of the three great empires—Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman—that once ruled the old city. Turkey’s commercial capital also offers good value for luxury buyers who can handle political volatility. Among the most expensive cities, Istanbul sells the cheapest premium whiskey, ladies’ handbags, men’s suits, and pianos. Hotel suites, business class flights, LASIK surgery, and fitness training are relatively affordable, too. On the other hand, jewelry, ladies’ shoes, fine wine, and attorney fees are more expensive in Istanbul than anywhere else around the globe.
