• Hagia Sophia Mosque - Just a brief stroll from the Blue Mosque lies the Hagia Sophia, an architectural wonder that has endured through the ages. Initially built as a Christian basilica in the 6th century by Emperor Justinian I, it was transformed into a mosque in the 15th century and now serves as a museum. The Hagia Sophia is renowned for its enormous dome, stunning mosaics, and as a symbol of the merging of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires.
• Topkapi Palace - Next, explore the Topkapi Palace, which was the primary residence and administrative center of the Ottoman sultans for almost 400 years. The palace complex is a treasure chest of Islamic art, featuring lavishly adorned courtyards and rooms that house an impressive collection of artifacts, including the cloak and sword of Prophet Muhammad. The Harem, an optional part of the tour, provides an intriguing insight into the private lives of the sultans.
• Sultan Ahmet Tomb - Conclude your tour at the Sultan’s Tombs, situated within the grounds of Hagia Sophia. Here, you will discover the final resting places of five Ottoman sultans, their families, and prominent figures of the empire. The tombs are celebrated for their intricate tile work and offer a serene space for contemplation on the transience of power and the richness of Ottoman heritage.
