- Sultanahmet Square - Explore “Sultanahmet Center,” the vibrant heart of Istanbul’s “Old City,” where the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires were once governed. The tour guide will greet visitors at the designated meeting point to begin an exciting exploration of the historic city.
- Hagia Sophia Mosque - Once hailed as the greatest church in Christendom, Hagia Sophia is a remarkable masterpiece blending Western and Eastern influences. Originally built by Constantine the Great in 325 on the site of a pagan temple, it was later reconstructed by Justinian and Theodora. In 1453, Mehmet the Conqueror transformed it into a mosque by adding minarets to its grand dome.
- Blue Mosque - The Blue Mosque holds a distinguished place among the Ottoman structures in Sultanahmet Square. Designed by Sedefkar Mehmet Aga, who drew inspiration from classical Ottoman architecture and Hagia Sophia, the mosque features a spacious, well-lit, and airy interior. It is famously known as the Blue Mosque due to the blue tiles that adorn its interior walls.
- Topkapi Palace - Topkapi Palace (closed on Tuesdays) served as the administrative center of the Ottoman Empire, which spanned three continents for centuries. Constructed between 1460 and 1478 during the reign of Sultan Mehmed II (The Conqueror), it is a significant historical site.
- Kapali Carsi - The Grand Bazaar (closed on Sundays) is the world’s oldest and largest covered market, established in 1461. Resembling a vast labyrinth, it is a unique and captivating part of Istanbul, featuring 60 streets and over 3,600 shops. The Grand Bazaar offers a diverse array of products, from copper and glazed tiles to wedding items, ready-to-wear clothing, various handicrafts, and a wide selection of spices. Western writers frequently reference the Grand Bazaar in their memoirs and travel accounts.
- Hippodrome - The Hippodrome, a public park during the Byzantine Empire, was used for ceremonies and sporting events, including chariot races and athletics.
- Basilica Cistern - Constructed in the 6th century by Byzantine Emperor Justinian I, the Basilica Cistern served as a water reservoir for the Great Palace. Situated southwest of Hagia Sophia, it is one of Istanbul’s most impressive museums.
