Overview of your Istanbul tour

Blue Mosque, famous for its mosaics of blue Iznik tiles and its six minarets. The Hippodrome, the scene of Byzantine chariot races, athletic events, victory celebrations, and political activities of the old city. Facing the Blue Mosque is St. Sophia (Closed on Fridays till 2:30pm), one of the great architectural marvels of the ancient world. This church – turned mosque – and now a museum and mosque, takes the breath away with the sheer size of its interior and its magnificent dome. You will then visit the marvellous Basilica Cistern with its atmospherically lit rows of columns – 336 in total. Explore the spectacular Topkapi Palace (Closed on Tuesdays), seat of the Ottoman sultans for 400 years. Built on one of the seven hills of Istanbul, this huge complex commands superb views of the Sea of Marmara, the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn. The palace is filled with treasures of the Sultans including the extravagant Treasury with its magnificent jewels and porcelains.
