Istanbul is in both Europe and Asia.
The older neighborhoods of Sultanahmet and Beyoğlu are part of Europe. Some of the younger parts of the city (such as Üsküdar and other suburbs) line the east bank of the Bosporus and are thus in Asia. The majority of the city, though, remains on the European side.
