Full Day Tour in Istanbul to Byzantine and Ottoman Relics

Topkapi Palace is one of the world's largest surviving palaces and was built between 1460 and 1478 under the orders of Sultan Mehmed II a few years after he conquered Constantinople. The palace served as the home of the Ottoman Sultans for almost four centuries.

Hagia Sophia, an important Byzantine structure in Istanbul and one of the world's great monuments. It was built as a Christian church in the 6th century ce (532–537) under the direction of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I. In subsequent centuries it became a mosque, a museum, and a mosque again.

Wandering through the Grand Bazaar is much more than shopping; it's a cultural experience. Even travelers who aren't big shoppers will appreciate the people-watching opportunities and the chance to explore alleys built during the Ottoman Empire.
