Istanbul looks and is enormous even if you're used to large cities. Its population ranges in the order of 12-15 million, and its layout along the coast of the Marmara sea makes it an extremely vast city to cross.Climbing up any tall building (such as a hotel) yields impressive sights over the city, and highlights the quick and dirty city planning scheme.
