Istanbul is a vibrant city, during the day in the spice markets and on the Bosporus' channel and during the night the Taksim district, where young people hang out.

A cosmopolitan city, multi-ethnic, multi-religious, but also laic in a Country governed by fondamentalistic ideology, where today outlive different realities.
