Visiting Istanbul

How exotic can a European city be, you ask? We have one word: Istanbul. This sizzling Turkish metropolis of spice markets, bazaars, mosques, mosaics, gypsies, and steaming kebabs sets new standards in chaos. The Old City is home to the Topkapi Palace and Blue Mosque—and to throngs of pushy street vendors, too. But that rug will be worth it in the end. Just keep bargaining.
