Istanbul, Turkey stands out as the singular major global city positioned across two continents—Europe and Asia. Formerly called Constantinople, Istanbul serves as Turkey's primary urban center, embodying the nation's economic, cultural, and historical essence. Given the blurred delineation between Europe and Asia, Istanbul emerges as the exclusive naturally transcontinental city.
Its European and Asian sectors are divided by the Bosphorus strait. As Turkey's most extensive urban area, Istanbul accommodates about 65% of its population on the European sector, with the rest residing on the geographically Asian side of the strait.
