🔹 Tour Highlights
🏰 Topkapi Palace – The Seat of Ottoman Power
Begin your journey at Topkapi Palace, the imperial residence of Ottoman sultans for nearly 400 years. This grand palace complex served as the political and administrative center of the empire, overseeing vast territories across three continents. Stroll through its sprawling courtyards, lavishly decorated chambers, and treasury, which houses some of the most precious artifacts from the Ottoman era. Don’t miss the panoramic views over the Bosphorus from the palace terraces!
🕌 Hagia Sophia (Aya Sofya) – A Marvel of Faith & Architecture
One of the most breathtaking structures in the world, Hagia Sophia has stood the test of time as both a Byzantine church and an Ottoman mosque. After the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, minarets were added to complement its massive dome and intricate mosaics, blending Christian and Islamic artistic elements into a single, awe-inspiring structure. Today, it stands as a symbol of Istanbul’s diverse cultural heritage.

With six towering minarets and an impressive series of cascading domes, this mosque remains one of the most striking examples of Ottoman architecture. Just outside, in Sultanahmet Square, you’ll see ancient Byzantine Obelisks, remnants of the former Hippodrome, where chariot races and grand celebrations once took place.
