About this experience

Make the most of a short stay with this two-night Istanbul package that pairs comfortable accommodation with a full day of guided sightseeing. From the moment you land, transfers and a 4-star or boutique hotel in the Sultanahmet area take the stress out of planning.

The centrepiece is a full-day Byzantine and Ottoman Relics tour led by a professional bilingual guide. You will explore Topkapı Palace, the former imperial residence of the Ottoman sultans, marvel at Hagia Sophia, step inside the Blue Mosque and walk the ancient Hippodrome. A full-course Turkish lunch keeps you fuelled between the sights.

The day winds down in the Grand Bazaar, where handmade carpets, jewelry and leather goods fill its historic lanes. With breakfast, entrance fees and transfers all arranged, this is an easy and rewarding introduction to the city.
