Full Day Istanbul City Tour
Breakfast at the hotel
Spend a day in one of the world’s most gorgeous cities, Istanbul, and soak in all the history and culture by visiting some of its most fascinating sites and landmarks.
Our tour opens with a visit to the Blue Mosque, also known as Sultan Ahmad Mosque. Completed in 1616 to reassert Ottoman power, the Blue Mosque, named as such for its bluish interior, is now one of the city’s most popular tourist sites. Beside it lies our next stop, Hagia Sophia, a 6th-century church built by the Byzantium Emperor Justinian, that later became an imperial mosque and subsequently a museum. Its impressive dome makes it a true architectural marvel and a wonder to behold. Afterwards, we move on to Topkapi Palace, which served as the royal residence of the Ottoman Empire from the 15th to the 19th century. Now a museum, it holds many courtyards, rooms, and treasures, that are yours to explore. We end our tour with a visit to the Hippodrome of Constantinople, an old 3rd-century Byzantine circus, or stadium, used for chariot racing and entertainment. There, we’ll get to visit the ancient bronze Serpent Column, the 3500-year-old Obelisk of Thutmose III, the Statues of Porphyrios, the Walled Obelisk and, lastly, the German Fountain, which was built in Germany and assembled in Istanbul in 1900.
