The type of tourism where the visitors prefer to take their vacations to enjoy different aspects of cities is called urban tourism. Urban tourism is also called city tourism.

Historical quarters-cities with historical backgrounds: Historic districts are generally very pedestrian-friendly. They give the visitors a nice experience when they walk around the city itself. Rome (Italy) and Istanbul are good examples to this type of cities.

Waterfront-cities that have the sea or river: Cities with the waterfront have always caught the attention of tourists. For example, Venice is very popular because of the canals it has running throughout the city.

Conference centers and exhibitions-cities that provide opportunities for businessmen and researchers: Cities need to offer facilities that allow large organizations like Trade Shows, Conventions, Conferences, Meetings, Events, or Exhibitions. A city which is well known in the convention and business tourism attracts many visitors. The visitors attend conferences or exhibitions, and at the same time, they enjoy other attractions in the city.

Fairs, carnivals and events - cities that offer fun or attract special interest groups: Organizations such as Olympic Games, International fairs, Sports organizations, Cultural and traditional festivals attract many visitors to the cities. For example, Cannes Film Festival, Rio’s traditional carnival, Oktoberfest in Munich, Shopping Fest in ‹stanbul attract a great number of visitors to these cities. Cities try to host upcoming sports events or to organize business or educational meetings. The ongoing efforts made by National Olympic Committee of Turkey to host the Summer Olympics in Istanbul reflect the importance of the issue.

Eating facilities - cities with special cuisines: Many visitors of a town or city prefer spending serious amount of their money on food. Some tourists prefer a destination just to experience the famous delicious tastes by the local cuisines. Gaziantep and Hatay of Turkey can be very important destinations for urban tourism with their traditional cuisines.

Tourism workers and inhabitants of a city - cities with native people who like to support tourists: Friendliness is very important in tourism business. Most visitors would like to hear or see a warm ‘welcome’ by the service providers in the cities or towns they stay. The locals in a city must not consider the visitors as ‘dollar-bills’. The visitors take the goods and bads with them when they go back home. Turkey, with its history and traditional hospitality welcome its visitors and help them leave the country with good memories.

Visitors from specific faiths like to visit locations that they consider holy sites. The form of tourism where people travel to such holy places is called Faith tourism or Religious tourism. People may travel individually or in groups for different reasons. One of the main reasons for religious tourism is pilgrimage. This is when people visit holy places at a certain time according to their beliefs. However, religious tourism does not only cover pilgrims. Non-religious people also like to visit holy locations because many of these places are interesting not only in terms of religions but also culture and history of the civilizations.

Well known locations for faith tourism for the followers of Judaism, ‹stanbul’s synagogues are open to visitors for worship and sightseeing purposes. Archaeological excavations of early Jewish settlements in Sardis near Salihli have revealed one of the world’s oldest synagogues from 220 B.C.

For visitors from the Christian faith, a trip to Mount Ararat will show them what is believed to be the landing place of Noah’s Ark. Many religious and holy fathers of Christianity lived in Anatolia and built the early churches. The Christian sites in Turkish land are visited by many tourists, either independently or with organized tours.

The Islamic sites in Turkey are numerous. Only Istanbul, the former capital of the huge Ottoman Empire, is home to various sites that are sacred and blessed for Muslims. All in all, any visitor to Turkey will be impressed with the greatness and diversity of religious constructions and sacred places of worship.
