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.
While Aleppo now is large city with more than one million inhabitants, its old city centre is still fairly small and can easily be explored on foot. Apart from the Christian quarter, the most interesting places in Aleppo are the enormous souq, which runs under a roof and where you can find anything from colourful spices and fresh meat, to oil lamps and jewellery. Then there are mosques - unfortunately, the Grand Mosque was under complete reconstruction when I visited. Close to the Citadel, there is a traditional hammam where you can have a bath and massage. Apart from these sights, another asset of Aleppo is the very friendly population which is always curious to talk to you, help you and make you feel at home.
