Istanbul Tour
Begin the day with a visit to Hagia Sophia, The Church of Divine Wisdom, with your Istanbul tour guide.
Next, you will see the German Fountain, Kaiser Wilhelm II's gift, and listen to stories of his liaison with the Orient.
Proceed to Hippodrome, where Romans and Byzantines once organised the chariot races.
See the Blue Mosque, the only mosque with six minarets. Explore the mosque's surroundings.
Explore the Grand Bazaar; grab a bite of local food or shop for souvenirs.
Take a look around the huge Topkapi Museum, the most important museum in Turkey and the Balkan Peninsula. It is an incomparably rich treasure chest brimming with historical importance.
Take a look at the first, second, third, and fourth courtyards of Topkapi Place, the Audience Hall, and Divan—the High Court.
Lastly, see the historical kitchens, royal stables, the treasury, gardens, and kiosks. Probably the best commentary on Ottoman history, art, and culture witnesses a culmination in the First Courtyard of this impressive Palace.
