This is number 1 of a series of tours in Istanbul. Istanbul - Constantinople - Byzantion. On this tour, we will walk on the heart of the biggest city of the Medieval era and understand how this city is formed throughout history.
Depending on the hotel we can meet at the hotel or our meeting point will be German Fountain
First, we will start walking on the remains of the Hippodrome of Constantinople and see the monuments that used to decorate it.
Next, we will visit the Blue Mosque, the first 6-minaret mosque in the city known for its blue tiles.
For me, this is the most important monument in the city. The highest reach of Roman engineering and a holy place that serves Christians and Muslims for many years.
We will walk into the Roman Cistern and learn about the Roman waterworks.
We will have a lunch break. I will recommend you some restaurants.
We will travel in time and learn about the heart and brain of the Ottoman Empire. Sultans not only used this place as home but also ruled their vast empire that stretched over 3 continents.
