Istanbul is known for its fast pace rhythm, busy streets, and bargaining culture. For centuries it has been a trade center – a place through which spices, tea and coffee, textiles, gold and jewels would reach Europe. Many of the residents in the city have benefited from its strategic importance making a living as artisans or establishing private trade businesses.
All of that has made Istanbul a true melting pot of cultures. The former is still true today.
