Aleppo is the second largest city in Syria, and is still the major trading place which it has been since many centuries. It is also a mix of East and West, North and South.
Nowadays, Aleppo has been rediscovered as a trading city, especially for tradesmen from the former Soviet republics. Many places have signs in Russian. While the main attraction of the city might be the citadel, Aleppo has other, hidden areas that deserve a visit. There is the Christian quarter, where you can find old coble-stoned streets, a small souq and various churches and cathedrals. Besides, it has a strong Armenian influence which for instance shows in Armenian signs.
