About this activity
Your action-packed full-day Istanbul sightseeing tour begins by meeting your guide at the meeting point (in front of Turkish & Islamic Arts Museum at Sultanahmet Square). Start with a brief orientation to the day ahead. Keep in mind the order of places may change from what is described below. Venture to the Blue Mosque, one of the most stunning sights in Istanbul. Admire its six signature minarets and many ornate Iznik tiles that come together to form its dazzling blue walls. Listen as your expert guide tells you about the fascinating history of this Ottoman-era mosque. Then walk to the Hagia Sophia, an UNESCO-listed museum that was once a church and a mosque. Next, stroll over to Topkapi Palace, a crown jewel of Istanbul. Explore its intricate corridors and intimate rooms where sultans once entertained elite guests—and were entertained by their harems. Your guide will point out interesting bits of backstory to the rooms, bringing to life this ornamental palace and museum. Midway through the day, break for a the lunch which is on your own expense. Move on to the Hippodrome, where you can admire a granite Egyptian obelisk that was a gift to Istanbul. At one point, this location marked the epicenter of the city’s sports life and also served as a political center. Your final stop is also one of the most iconic: the Grand Bazaar. Stroll through its colorful alleys, more than 60 in all, in awe of the crafts, smells, sounds and sights. As one of the most famous souks in the world, you won’t want to miss this. Duck into leather, jewelry and ceramic stores as well as spice stalls and other unique outlets. After, bid farewell to your guide and the rest of your group when you tour concludes with a convenient drop-off by walking to the meeting point or the guide orients you where you would like to go on your own. Please note: Grand Bazaar is closed Sundays. If your tour is on this day, an alternate, such as another market or more free time at the sights, may be provided instead.
