Blue Mosque is one of the best examples of the Ottoman classical era with its stunning six minarets.

Hippodrome, During the Roman Empire, from 203 – 330 CE, right up until the end of the Ottoman Empire’s rule, in 1922, the Hippodrome was in use, for various different requirements. These range between gladiator fights to chariot races, protests, celebrations, and also for torturing of those suspected of committing crimes.

Hagia Sophia is an important Byzantine structure in Istanbul and one of the world’s great monuments. It was built as a Christian church in the 6th century ce (532–537) under the direction of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I. In subsequent centuries it became a mosque, a museum, and a mosque again. The building reflects the religious changes that have played out in the region over the centuries, with the minarets and inscriptions of Islam as well as the lavish mosaics of Christianity.

Topkapı Palace is one of the world’s largest surviving palaces and was built between 1460 and 1478 under the orders of Sultan Mehmed II a few years after he conquered Constantinople. The palace served as the home of the Ottoman Sultans for almost four centuries. It was also the state’s administrative and educational headquarters.

Hagia Irene functioned as Constantinople’s cathedral until the opening of Hagia Sophia in 360 CE. It is the oldest known church in the city.

Grand Bazaar is the oldest and largest covered bazaar in the world with over than 4000 shops. In this labyrinth of shops, your guide is there to help you for the best experience.
