Tour Itinerary – Highlights of Old Istanbul


Begin your journey in the very heart of old Istanbul: Sultanahmet Square. Once the grand hippodrome of Constantinople, where chariot races and imperial ceremonies took place, today it remains a lively square filled with history and charm.


✨ What You’ll See:


Hippodrome of Constantinople – once the sporting and social center of the Byzantine Empire


Serpentine Column & Obelisk of Theodosius – ancient monuments that still stand proudly


German Fountain – a 19th-century gift from Kaiser Wilhelm II


Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Mosque) – an iconic masterpiece of Ottoman architecture


Hagia Sophia – admire from the outside (inside visit optional with extra ticket)


Grand Bazaar – one of the world’s largest and oldest covered markets


(Optional) Stop at a local outlet store before the Grand Bazaar to compare prices


This route combines Istanbul’s must-see landmarks with hidden stories of history, making it perfect for first-time visitors.
