Istzanbul is actually Constantinople. The old capital of the antique Byzantine empire. That's why it is so amazing.

some cool old architecture and music, and some nice food. but it's kinda cold. you will feel unwelcome.

The rest got bombed to hell and the cool stuff in Istanbul wasn't built by turks. So why not.

It is an amazing city still, despite the turks. You can easily spend a week there and only just scratch the surface. Seeing the Hagia Sofia all kebabed up legit triggers me though.

Fucking sick of these /int/tards here

It's great, had one of my best trips there.
But there are going to be sellers, it was raining one of the days and we had kids all over the place trying to sell us umbrellas.
But it's mostly at the tourist attractions.

>hordes of sellers and weird people following you around as well trying to haggle

Istanbul has that. And people trying to rip you off. And the most dishonest and scammy taxi drivers you've ever seen. You just have to live with it. It's an amazing city with loads to see and do.

Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople.
