ISTANBUL (TURSKA) Nekadašnja prestonica rim- skog, vizantijskog i osmanlijskog carstva danas je najveći grad u Turskoj, ali ne i njen glavni grad. Šesnaest miliona stanovnika, 125 .000 mačaka. Dve hiljade biosko- pa. Tri hiljade džamija. Tri stoti- ne i četrnaest kalorija u parčetu baklave. Ovaj grad na dva konti- nenta i geografski i kulturološki predstavlja sudar Istoka i Zapa- da, a Napoleon je jednom rekao da, kada bi ceo svet bio jedna ze- mlja, Istanbul bi bio glavni grad te zemlje. Malo je reći da ga vre- di posetiti. Tip: Probajte sveže ceđeni sok od nara koji se u Istanbu- lu prodaje na ulici.
ISTANBUL (TURKEY) This former capital of the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires is today Turkey’s larg- est city, but not its capital. With sixteen million inhabitants, 125,000 cats, two thousand cine- mas, three thousand mosques and three hundred and fourteen calories in a slice of baklava. This city on two continents represents, both geographically and culturally, the colli-
sion between East and West, and even Napoleon once said that if the whole world was a single country then Istanbul would be its capital. It’s an un- derstatement to say that it’s worth a visit. Tip: Try the freshly squeezed pomegranate juice that’s sold on the streets in Istanbul.
BON (NEMAČKA) Betovenov rodni grad i privremena prestoni- ca Zapadne Nemačke nudi posetiocima dvorce iz bajki, rimske iskopine, krstarenje Rajnom, od- lične muzeje i – fabrički autlet Haribo bombona. Tip: Bon posetite u proleće, kada u starom gradu cvetaju trešnje. Herštrase i ulica Brajte transformišu se u ružičaste tunele, a fotografi iz celog sveta dolaze da ovekoveče ovaj prelepi prizor. BONN (GERMANY) Beethoven’s hometown and the provisional capital of West Germany offers visitors fairy-tale castles, Roman exca- vations, Rhine cruises, excellent museums and – the factory outlet shop of Haribo sweets! Tip: Visit Bonn during springtime, when the cherry trees of the old city blossom. Then the streets of Heerstrasse and Bre- ite are transformed into tunnels of pink blossom, with pho- tographers coming from all over the world to immortalise this beautiful scene.
