This layover tour of Istanbul covers all the highlights of the city. Visit the monuments from the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, go to the Hagia Sophia, shop for all kinds of souvenirs in the world's oldest covered market, Grand Bazaar, and see the imperial residence of the Ottoman sultans, Topkapi Palace and admire the blue Iznik tiles of the Blue Mosque. Accompany of your local tour guide will be useful for your family and young kids. Skip the line service is not available for Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque - there is a queue for the entrance). If one of the mosques is not visited, Basilica Cistern will be visited as a replacement. On Fridays, Hagia Sophia or Blue Mosque will be visited from outside because of the worship.
Once called Constantinople, the former capital of the Byzantine Empire is the only city in the world to straddle two continents: Europe and Asia. This is the Golden Horn, the door between East and West, and your first vision of its domes and minarets is unforgetable. Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Sultan treasures in Topkapi Palace await - as does the Grand Bazaar, laden with carpets, beaten brass and spices from afar.
