Why Istanbul is Still the #1 City for International Events
Istanbul has layers: Byzantine walls, Ottoman palaces, modern galleries, and rooftop restaurants that watch two continents meet. As a host city, it’s hard to beat.
Connectivity. Two major airports, dense hotel inventory, and short rides between historic sites and business districts.
Venue density. You can stage a multi‑track conference, a VIP dinner on the water, and a late‑night after‑party — all within a few kilometers.
Media magnetism. Photos and videos look instantly iconic. That helps press, social reach, and sponsor happiness.
For many organizers, Istanbul is where practicality and theater meet perfectly.
