Bath

Wander the elegant spa city of Bath, renowned for its well-preserved Roman Baths and

its classical stone crescents, historic squares and the archaeological remains of the Roman-era
bathing complex

Hippodrome (Sultanahmet Square)

Stand in the heart of ancient Constantinople at the old chariot-racing arena. Once the vibrant sporting and social centre of the Byzantine Empire, the Hippodrome is now a public square (Sultanahmet Square) adorned with historic monuments and obelisks.

Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmed Mosque)

Marvel at this 17th-century Ottoman imperial
mosque, famous for its six minarets and breathtaking interior of over 20,000 hand-painted
blue İznik tiles. Its grand central dome and courtyard create an iconic silhouette on Istanbul’s
skyline.

Hagia Sophia

Admire Hagia Sophia, the magnificent domed basilica (c. AD 537) that has been a Byzantine cathedral, an Ottoman mosque, and a museum. Known as a masterpiece of Byzantine architecture, it was the world’s largest interior space when built. Its enormous dome and mosaics reflect centuries of both Christian and Islamic heritage.

Grand Bazaar Istanbul

Dive into one of the world’s largest and oldest covered markets. The Grand Bazaar’s warren of over 4,000 shops sells everything from rich carpets and kilims to ceramics, spices, leather goods and luminous Turkish lamps. Its sheer size and bustling atmosphere encapsulate the “awe-inspiring” charm of historic Istanbul.

Topkapi Palace

Imperial Harem: Visit the sprawling Topkapi Palace complex, former seat of the Ottoman Sultans. Explore the Imperial Harem quarters (now part of the museum), which once housed the Sultan’s family and concubines in over 400 richly-decorated rooms. The Harem’s courtyards, baths and pavilions offer a glimpse into royal Ottoman life.

Little Hagia Sophia

Discover the Küçük Ayasofya, a 6th-century Byzantine church (originally the Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus) converted into a mosque. This compact domed building is acclaimed as one of the finest early Byzantine monuments in Istanbul. A modern historian even wrote that its architectural originality and ornate decoration rank it “second
only to Hagia Sophia itself”.
