• Topkapi Palace Museum - Commissioned by Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror soon after his conquest of Constantinople in 1453, Topkapi Palace (Topkapı Sarayı) began construction in 1460. It served as the center of the Ottoman Empire for nearly four centuries until the royal family relocated to Dolmabahçe Palace in the 19th century.
• Hagia Sophia Mosque - Originally constructed as the Byzantine Church of Divine Wisdom, this Orthodox basilica later became a mosque and is now a museum. Built in 537 under the orders of Byzantine Emperor Justinian, it was the cathedral of Constantinople and the world’s largest cathedral for almost a millennium. After the Ottomans conquered Constantinople in 1453, it was converted into a mosque and remained so until 1931.
• Blue Mosque - After visiting Hagia Sophia, the next stop is the world-famous Blue Mosque, completed in 1616. Sultan Ahmet I commissioned the mosque at the age of 19. Its interior features over 20,000 handmade ceramic tiles in more than fifty tulip designs. The tiles on the lower levels are traditionally designed, while those in the galleries are more elaborate, depicting flowers, fruits, and trees.
• Hippodrome - Includes the Obelisk of Theodosius and the Walled Obelisk.
• German Fountain - Situated in Sultanahmet Square across from Sultan Ahmet I’s tomb, this historic fountain was a gift from German Kaiser Wilhelm II to the sultan and the city. Constructed in Germany in the neo-Byzantine style and adorned with gold mosaics, it was erected in Istanbul in 1901.
• Kapali Carsi - This maze of streets and passages houses over 4,000 shops, each trade occupying its own area. Visitors can explore the goldsmiths’ street, carpet sellers, and Turkish arts and crafts, including hand-painted ceramic plates, hand-honed copperware, brassware and trays, water ewers, onyxware, and meerschaum pipes.
