Howdy. I will go to Istanbul next month. It will be my first trip to Turkey. I would like to know what I can expect in that country. I know that it is different country, different culture, different architecture, different religion, different continent What should I pay attention to while I am there? Thanks in advance.

Howdy. You are right. Turkey is in a way different from Western Europe and USA. Istanbul is marvelous and there are so many things you could do there. You must visit Hagia Sophia Museum or Ayasofya. It was built in the 6th century. I cant describe you a feeling when entering in such old monument. If you are a shopping fan, then you must visit Grand Bazaar. There you can bargain for everything. Also visit Topkapi Palace where the residence of Turkish sultans was. I suggest you to go to the Bosphorus. It is amazing to see how it divides two continents. And these sites are only the beginning of the list what to see there.
