🗺️ Tour Highlights
🕌 Hagia Sophia
Originally built in the 6th century by Emperor Justinian, Hagia Sophia is one of the greatest wonders of world architecture. With its massive dome and spiritual aura, it represents centuries of Byzantine and Ottoman legacy.
🕌 Blue Mosque
Facing Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque is famous for its stunning İznik tiles and six minarets. A true icon of the Istanbul skyline, it still functions as an active place of worship.
🏟️ Hippodrome of Constantinople
Once a social and political center for Roman and Byzantine citizens, today the Hippodrome features the Obelisk of Theodosius, the Serpentine Column, and the German Fountain.
🛍️ Grand Bazaar
Lose yourself in a labyrinth of over 4,000 shops filled with carpets, gold, leather goods, souvenirs, and spices. A must-see destination for those who love shopping and culture.
🏰 Topkapi Palace
The grand residence of Ottoman sultans for nearly 400 years. Walk through its ornate courtyards and discover collections of imperial weapons, porcelain, and manuscripts. (Harem and Treasury not included – optional with extra ticket.)
