Full Day Walking Tour of Istanbul’s Old City (Breakfast and Lunch included)

Hagia Sophia Mosque - Hagia Sophia stands as one of the world’s most remarkable religious structures, having served as a mosque, church, and museum. It embodies a unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures. Upon entering, you’ll experience the harmonious fusion of Islamic and Christian influences, highlighted by stunning interior mosaics and a rich history. Witnessing it firsthand is a must, and it will surely leave you in awe.

Blue Mosque - Constructed in the early 1600s for Sultan Ahmet, the Blue Mosque, also known as Sultanahmet Mosque in Turkey, is a marvel of beauty and grandeur. Its cascading domes and slender minarets dominate Istanbul’s skyline. The mosque’s name is derived from the 27,000 pieces of Iznik quartz tiles that adorn its interior, creating a mesmerizing blue hue worth seeing.

Sultanahmet Square - Next, visit the Hippodrome, home to four monuments: the German Fountain of Wilhelm II, the Obelisk of Theodosius, the bronze Serpentine Column, and the Column of Constantine. The Hippodrome was the epicenter of sporting and political activities in Constantinople for a millennium, fueled by Byzantine emperors’ love for chariot races.

Topkapi Palace - Topkapi Palace offers a unique experience unlike most museums worldwide. It served as the administrative, educational, and artistic hub of the Ottoman Empire for 400 years. This example of oriental architecture features exhibitions of art, books, jewels, plates, costumes, the treasury, and the Holy Relics. Beyond being the Imperial Residence of the Ottoman Sultans, it was the seat of the Supreme Executive and Judiciary Council for nearly four centuries.
