Istanbul. From this website:
http://english.istanbul.gov.tr/Default.aspx?pid=517
“There, the God and mankind, nature and art altogether have created such a magnificent place on earth that it is worth a visit,” says Lamartine to describe the city encompassing two continents, Asia with one arm and Europe with the other.
With a population of 10 million, this is the most populated city of Turkish Republic, and is the center of exports and imports, entertainment, cultural activities, education, shopping, tourism and artistic activities across the entire country. Located in the heart of the Old World, Istanbul is an important and renowned megalopolis with its historical monuments and magnificent natural beauties. This is the only city stretching over two continents, Europe and Asia, where they face each other across a narrow body of water called Bosphorus or the Istanbul Straits. Founded over 2500 years ago, it soon became an important commercial center owing to its strategic location where lands and seas meet.

Vatican City? I mean it's also its own country, but it's also inside Rome...and inside Italy.
But as I was typing this i realized you put continent, and not country....so i didn't feel like erasing.

Can't tell you what it is, but I can tell you that it is NOT Istanbul; that city lies entirely on the "European" side.
