Istanbul is one of the world's most historical cities, bridging two continents. Hosting many civilizations throughout its thousands of years of history, this unique city offers countless discovery points for history and culture enthusiasts.
Sultanahmet Square
Sultanahmet Square, home to world heritage structures like Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, and Topkapi Palace, is the historical heart of Istanbul. We recommend spending at least a full day in this area.
Karaköy and Galata
Discover Istanbul's modern face with Galata Tower, Istiklal Avenue, and the historic tram line. Karaköy's boutique cafes and art galleries are also must-sees.
Bosphorus Cruise
A Bosphorus cruise, where you can best see Istanbul's silhouette, is a perfect opportunity to view the city's history and architecture from the water.
