Ottoman Imperial Tour: A Half-Day Journey into Istanbul’s Rich Ottoman Heritage
Step back in time and explore Istanbul’s remarkable Ottoman legacy with our Ottoman Imperial Tour. This half-day experience takes you to some of the most iconic landmarks that showcase the city’s historical and cultural richness.
Begin your journey at the ancient Hippodrome, a central hub of public life during the Roman and Byzantine periods. Marvel at historical monuments such as the Obelisk of Theodosius, the Serpent Column, and the Walled Obelisk, which tell tales of Istanbul's illustrious past.
A short walk from the Hippodrome brings you to the German Fountain, a beautiful gift from Kaiser Wilhelm II to the Ottoman Empire. This octagonal fountain, adorned with intricate designs, reflects the friendship between Germany and the Ottomans in the late 19th century.
One of the masterpieces of Ottoman architecture, the Blue Mosque, also known as Sultan Ahmed Mosque, captivates visitors with its stunning blue İznik tiles, elegant domes, and towering minarets. Experience the serene beauty of this iconic mosque, which remains a vibrant place of worship.
View the magnificent Hagia Sophia from the outside, a symbol of Istanbul's rich history. Having served as a church, a mosque, and now a museum, this architectural marvel continues to stand as a testament to the city's diverse cultural heritage.
Conclude your tour with a visit to the Hurrem Sultan Bathhouse, an architectural gem built for the wife of Suleiman the Magnificent. Admire its beautifully preserved exterior and imagine the luxurious rituals that once took place inside this historic hamam.
