Places
You Will see in Skyride 4D Simulation
Bosphorus: One of the most famous attractions of Istanbul is the Bosphorus Strait. Running through the center of the city, this natural strait divides Istanbul into two continents and has 3 bridges that connect the both sides of Istanbul: 15 Temmuz Sehitler Bridge, Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge and Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge. This strait also serves as a connection point between the Marmara Sea and the Black Sea. Its width varies from half a kilometer to 3 kilometers. Because of the beautiful sights near the shores of Bosphorus, a lot of wealthy people in the Ottoman Empire built their homes, mansions and pavilions on the shores, most of which you can still see today. If you want to experience this unique and beautiful strait yourself, you can book a Bosphorus cruise and watch all of the wonderful views running along the Bosphorus in person.
