Istanbul's Neighbourhoods, Palace and Viewpoints

During the course of your tour, you will visit the following highlights:

  • Ortaköy, where you will enjoy the trademark view of Istanbul with Mecidiye Mosque and the Bosphorus Bridge together.
  • Beylerbeyi Palace, which was once witness to the mysterious lives of sultans.
  • Kuzguncuk, a small neighbourhood on the Asian side where minorities such as Armenians, Jewish, Greek and Turkish families have been living together in peace for centuries. This neighbourhood is one of the few in the city representing the true identity of Istanbul with its unique culture, houses, streets, and lifestyle.

  • The highest spot in the city, Çamlıca Hill, overlooking the Bosphorus, where you will enjoy the spectacular view of Istanbul.
