Istanbul old city tours starting point depends on the location of your hotel, which means we will either meet at your hotel or at Sultan Ahmed Square.
Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia
The tour starts from Topkapi Palace from where we go to Hagia Sophia. Aya Sofia is the Turkish name of the impressive and magnificent mosque and a major cultural and historical site. It brings another Sofia to my mind, though and this is the capital of Bulgaria. Sofia day tours are for you to get to know the city and feel its atmosphere.
We proceed to see the Hippodrome and the Blue Mosque. To collect a good amount of energy in order to continue with our tour, we get the Turkish offer for take-away food for lunch – doner ekmek. Then we walk to the Grand Bazaar which has 3600 shops and 22 gates. From there we head towards the Spice Market through Mahmutpasa (all the locals go for shopping there).
Another energy shot is the Turkish delight (lokum) at Spice Market. A walk over Galata Bridge and after using the second oldest subway of the world, we go to the busiest street of Istanbul, Istiklal Street. A walk on Independence Avenue means time spent in a nice way. It brings pleasure not only to the soul but to people’s senses as well. Istiklal Street is the heart of Beyoglu, the more modern district of Istanbul built during the 19th century. The city’s most popular strolling, shopping and snacking street, which begins at Taksim Square, the hub of modern Istanbul. The street is good for shopping, strolling, people-watching, dinner in a nice restaurant.
