Istanbul, Turkey

The Bosporus was first bridged in 1973. Now, you can drive between continents rather than taking the ferries. Can you identity the European and Asian sides? Istanbul Boğazı, its Turkish name, is narrow enough to be a river, but it's not. It's a strait:  the most important strait in the history of the western world. [2007]
