🏙 VR City Tours | #16: Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷【360 Video】

EPISODE 16 OF VR CITY TOURS: ISTANBUL 🏙 🇹🇷 | A NEW VR CITY OR COUNTRY TOUR EPISODE EVERY SATURDAY Istanbul: the magical meeting place of East and West that has more top-drawer attractions than it has minarets (and that's a lot)! The conquering armies of ancient times tended to ransack the city rather than endow it with artistic treasures, but all that changed with the Byzantines, who adorned their churches and palaces with mosaics and frescoes. Miraculously, many of these remain. Their successors, the Ottomans, were quick to launch an ambitious building program and the magnificently decorated imperial mosques that resulted are architectural triumphs that together form one of the world's great skylines. Some ancient cities are the sum of their monuments, but İstanbul factors a lot more into the equation. Chief among its manifold attractions are the locals, who have an infectious love of life and generosity of spirit. This vibrant, inclusive and expanding community is full of people who work and party hard, treasure family and friendships, and have no problem melding tradition and modernity in their everyday lives. ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ 00:00 Istanbul | İstanbul 00:19 | Golden Horn | Altın Boynuz 00:51 | Galata Tower | Galata Kulesi 01:24 | Taksim Square | Taksim Meydanı 01:47 | Eminonu | Eminönü 02:15 | Sultanahmet 02:53 | Republic Monument | Cumhuriyet Anıtı 03:29 | Hagia Sophia | Ayasofya 04:06 | Suleymaniye Mosque | Süleymaniye Camii 06:08 | Blue Mosque | Sultanahmet Camii ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ Camera: GoPro Omni Music: Attitude - Endless Sky Thanks for watching! ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ ✤ ✣ How to view the 360° video: Desktop using Google Chrome: Use your mouse or trackpad to change your view while the video plays.
