Next, go to the Hagia Sophia, a former grand church turned mosque. See its large dome, Byzantine mosaics, and Islamic calligraphy together in one place. Listen as your guide shares the history of the sultans’ tombs and their significance.
Walk through the Hippodrome to see ancient obelisks and Roman remnants, then visit the Arasta Bazaar, a marketplace behind the Blue Mosque from the 17th century. Enjoy some tea or look for unique souvenirs nearby. End your tour in Sultanahmet Square with useful tips for further exploring Istanbul.
