(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque
Begin your journey at Hagia Sophia, an awe-inspiring testament to both Byzantine and Ottoman heritage. This architectural marvel, originally built as a cathedral in 537 AD under Emperor Justinian I, later served as a mosque and now stands as a museum. Its massive dome, considered an engineering marvel of its time, soars over a space filled with stunning mosaics and relics that blend Christian and Islamic artistry. The Hagia Sophia is not just a structure; it's a storied monument echoing centuries of history, culture, and faith.It's important to note that while our driver is knowledgeable and speaks English, they are not a licensed guide and therefore cannot provide detailed historical narratives inside historical sites like Hagia Sophia. However, travelers will have the opportunity to explore this magnificent site, appreciating its architecture and history at their own pace.
Sultanahmet Square
Our tour includes a visit to the historic Sultanahmet Square, where we spend about 45 minutes. This square is a rich tapestry of Istanbul's history, surrounded by some of the city's most famous landmarks, including the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. While our English-speaking driver can offer basic information about the area and its significance, please note that they are not a licensed guide and thus will not provide in-depth historical details or guided tours of the interior of these landmarks. This visit offers a fantastic opportunity for travelers to explore the square's vibrant atmosphere, admire its architectural beauty, and take memorable photographs. It's a chance to experience the heart of Istanbul's historical peninsula, absorbing the culture and the stories embedded in its ancient stones. Just a 5-minute walk from Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque impresses with its elegant Iznik tiles. An active place of worship, it offers a serene atmosphere to visitors.
Hippodrome
Next to the Blue Mosque lies the Hippodrome, once the epicenter of Byzantine public life and entertainment. Originally built for chariot racing, it was the sporting and social hub of Constantinople. Today, it serves as a public square, home to several significant monuments such as the Serpent Column, the Obelisk of Thutmose III, and the Walled Obelisk. Walking through the Hippodrome, visitors can imagine the roar of the ancient crowds and the chariots racing by, making it a fascinating portal into the city's vivid historical past
