Istanbul, Turkey or Turkiye has been at the top of my bucket list for a long time and I finally made it! My sister and I started a cruise from Istanbul but couldn’t leave the city without seeing as much as possible. We found a one-day, all-day tour that covered the major sights and spend the entire day wrapped in the history and beauty of this ancient city that sits at the crossroads of Asia and Europe. It has been Byzantium, Constantinople and Istanbul and was the capital of empires. We visited The Hippodrome, now Sultanahmet Square, with its Obelisk of Theodosius, Serpent’s Column and Walled Obelisk The Hagia Sophia, one of the oldest places in the city, first a church, then a mosque, now a mosque and museum The Blue Mosque or Sultan Ahmed Mosque The Basilica Cistern Topkapi Palace Stopped for Baklava and Apple Tea The Grand Bazaar Took the tram to our Bosphorus River Cruise, seeing the sights on both the European and Asian side of the river. We arrived back at Sultanahmet Square for sunset I also offer optional places like Dolmabahce Palace The Old City Walls Other Mosques like Rustem Pasha Mosque with exquisite blue tiles And the Spice Bazaar Istanbul is a fabulous city full of history and culture and one day isn’t enough. I’ll be back someday to see more of this fascinating city! #Istanbul #Turkey #Turkiye #HagiaSophia #BlueMosque #IstanbulInADay #IstanbulTour #BosphorusCruise #history Music from YouTube Audio Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:10 Hippodrome 02:39 Hagia Sophia 03:14 The Blue Mosque 05:02 The Basilica Cistern 07:25 Topkapi Palace 12:05 Snacks 12:16 Grand Bazaar 12:40 Tram Ride 13:14 Bosphorus Boat Ride 14:51 More Options 17:05 Another Video You May Like!
