Popular Questions and Answers

Answer: Byzantine and Ottoman monuments of Istanbul represent a unique synthesis of cultures. Hagia Sophia, built in 537 under Emperor Justinian, demonstrates the transition from an early Christian basilica to a domed structure. The Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Mosque) with six minarets and Iznik tiles of the XVII century is the pinnacle of the classical Ottoman style of the architect Sedefkar Mehmed-aghi.

What to see in Istanbul

Istanbul is a city on two continents with a centuries-old history, where Byzantium and the Ottoman Empire intersect, trade routes and modern rhythms of life. The streets of the old city keep the memory of great events, and the embankments and parks give freshness and views of the Bosphorus. This mixture of Eastern and European cultures creates a unique atmosphere – here you want to wander endlessly, discovering new corners and stories.

Manufactures and facilities

Istanbul’s man-made sights impress with diversity: Topkapi Palace and its treasuries, Hagia Sophia Cathedral and the Blue Mosque as symbols of the meetings of civilizations, the Tekfur Palace and the mosaic museum in the Chora Church with priceless Byzantine frescoes. The embankments are decorated with monuments and fountains such as the Ahmed III Fountain and the German Fountain, while the streets are home to the atmosphere of Istiklal and Taksim Square. Among the religious and cultural sites are the mosques of Mihrimah Sultan, Sokollu Mehmed Pasha and Nuruosmaniye, Catholic and Orthodox churches, the library of Ahmed III and the famous gate of Constantinople.

Natural attractions and places

The natural pearls of the city and its environs are not inferior to architectural masterpieces: the parks of Ulus, Emirgan and Gulkhan offer quiet walks among the greenery, and the Princes Islands, including Heybeliad, beckon the sea air and quiet streets without cars. The Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara set a special mood: walks along the embankments, views from bridges across the strait and the fortresses of Rumeli Hisara and Yoros at the mouth of the Bosphorus create vivid impressions of nature and history in one frame.

Build routes and visit interesting places

On our site you can see all these attractions on an interactive map, read brief descriptions and reviews, mark points of interest and automatically build a convenient route.

You are free to explore Istanbul on your own, following your own pace and interests, or book guided tours with local guides to delve deeper into the history and legends of the city. Guides will help to discover little-known places, customize the route to your preferences and make the walk informative and lively, and ready-made walking and car routes are available for freedom lovers.

Come to Istanbul and allow yourself to discover its layered soul: stroll through the palace halls, find a quiet park by the water, take a ferry ride and try the local cuisine. Plan your trip, create itineraries and go for discoveries – this city always gives new experiences and a reason to come back again.
