The bar chart shows the divorce rates in three European cites from 2013 to 2017. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The divorce rate in Istanbul stood almost 28% in 2013. In the following year: 2014, it was just under 35%, which was larger than any other cities and years. Thereafter, the number fell steadily with about 27% in 2017.
