Istanbul, with one foot in Asia and the other in Europe

With more than 3,000 years of history linking cultures, Istanbul has experience as a hostess. Its popularity as meetings hostess has grown over the years and in parallel has developed a broad range of infrastructure for cultural, social, conventions and incentives.

Here you can organise a gala dinner for 2,000 people in the Grand Bazaar, immersing the guests into the authentic Ottoman cuisine and transport them into time with a music show. Even 20 dancers can invite the boldest to move their waist. Or you can plan a themed dinner in the golden era of the Sultans, the five-star Ottoman Palace.

Practical Information
Istanbul is accessible by air, sea, rail and road. Most domestic and international flights arrive and depart from Atatürk Airport, 24km from downtown. It has recently been extended and can handle 20 million passengers a year.
