- Blue Mosque - The Blue Mosque, also known as Sultanahmet Camii, is Istanbul’s most famous mosque, celebrated for its beautiful blue Iznik tiles. Please be aware that visits are not allowed on Fridays until after 3:00 PM due to Friday Prayer. To ensure a respectful visit, a dress code is enforced. Women should bring scarves to cover their heads and shoulders, and both men and women should wear long pants.
- Hagia Sophia Mosque - The Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque is a symbol of architectural excellence, originally constructed by Constantine the Great in the 4th century and magnificently rebuilt by Justinian in the 6th century. This historic wonder is truly worth visiting. Please note that visits are not allowed on Fridays until 3:00 PM due to prayers. To maintain a respectful environment, a dress code is required: women must wear scarves to cover their heads and shoulders, and both men and women should wear long pants. Enjoy the beauty while respecting tradition!
- Topkapi Palace - Explore the captivating Topkapi Palace, the grand residence of the Ottoman Sultans from the 15th to the 19th centuries. This magnificent palace displays an extraordinary collection of precious gems, intricate jewelry, and the splendid thrones of the sultans. Discover the royal costumes, fascinating miniatures, and the revered Holy Mantle in the Chamber of Sacred Relics. Please note that a dress code is in place: women must wear scarves to cover their heads and shoulders, and both men and women should wear long pants for respectfulness. Remember, Topkapi Palace is closed on Tuesdays, so plan your visit to explore the intriguing Turkish Islamic Art Museum instead!
- Hagia Irene Museum - The Hagia Irene Church was built in the 4th century, at the same time as its famous neighbor, Hagia Sophia. After the conquest of Istanbul, it became part of the Topkapı Palace complex and, like many other churches, was converted into a mosque. Remarkably, this conversion did not significantly alter the church’s original structure. (Please note that Hagia Irene Church is closed on Tuesdays.)
- Kapali Carsi - The Enchanting Grand-Covered Bazaar Explore a vibrant labyrinth of over 4,000 shops, each specializing in its own trade. Walk through the goldsmiths’ street, admire exquisite carpets, and appreciate Turkish arts and crafts, including beautifully hand-painted ceramic plates, meticulously crafted copperware, elegant brassware, and stunning trays. Don’t miss the captivating onyxware and intricately designed meerschaum pipes. Be sure to visit the recommended stores for an exceptional shopping experience! (Note: The Grand Bazaar is closed on Sundays but is complemented by the charming Arasta Bazaar.)
