  • Hippodrome - It is a place of entertainment for the residents of Constantinople and a public arena for chariot races, just like in many other Roman cities.
  • Grand Bazaar - It is one of the world's largest and oldest covered markets. For someone who is visiting for the first time, you may need a company to explore the hidden gems of the market you may need a company.

• Today, you will explore the below-listed tourist attractions:
  • Dolmabahce Palace - It was the home of the Ottoman sultans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, before the fall of the empire. The giant crystal chandeliers, crystal staircases, and glamorous carpets show how Ottoman Empire was shifted to the European style of thinking.
  • Taksim Square - It is Istanbul’s main modern hub and is located at the end of the pedestrian thoroughfare Istiklal Avenue. It's a popular meeting place which historically hosts public celebrations, parades, and demonstrations.
  • Istiklal Street - It is a popular venue for all sorts of parades, marches, gatherings and protests in the city. 
  • Galata Tower (outside) - It has provided excellent surveillance from inside the walls of the city and had crucial military importance.
  • Karakoy - It is a happening harborside area where funky cafes and late-night cocktail bars mix with traditional neighbourhood bakeries and family-run shops. 
  • Spice Market - Visiting Istanbul is always colourful with the exploratory Spice Bazaar tour which attracts travellers with magnificent colours, fragrances and tastes just found inside. The location is near the New Mosque in the Eminönü district.
  • Bosphorus cruise (by public boat) - Istanbul has a unıque ability to contain so much diversity in itself. If you have a limited time and if you want to feel the breeze of the city, I highly recommend taking a boat on Bosphorus.

Note: A private boat tour in Bosphorus can be organised upon your request.
