Description:

Discover vibrant Istanbul—Turkey's largest city—and soak up the history and culture brimming around every corner. From popular sights to hidden gems, this guided walking tour ensures you see the finest of what this Turkish metropolis has to offer.

Meet your guide and head for the ancient Hippodrome. After ample exploration, make your way to Sokullu Mehmet Pasa Mosque, where you can admire the stunning collection of İznik tiles and Ottoman style architecture. Next, continue to historic Divanyolu—a Roman highway designed by Emperor Constantine in 300 AD, before stopping at the Grand Bazaar, a buzzing marketplace boasting 4,000 shops, thought by many to be the world’s first shopping mall.

Visit Beyazit Mosque, where your guide teaches you about the importance of Islam in Turkish society. Then spend time at the grand Süleymaniye Mosque—the largest in the city—before taking a break for a cup of aromatic Turkish tea within a traditional tea house.

Complete your tour near the Spice Bazaar, garner some last-minute tips from your guide, and explore further at your leisure.
