Tour Overview

●

Visit Istanbul's three must-see UNESCO World Heritage Sites

Explore Istanbul's three UNESCO World Heritage Sites in half a day: the Hippodrome, Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque.

The Hippodrome, once a venue for chariot races and the center of Byzantine civic life, is now a rectangular park. It features a domed fountain (Wilhelm II Foutain) built to commemorate the visit of German Emperor Wilhelm II; an Egyptian obelisk taken from the Temple of Karnak in Luxor; the bronze Column of the Serpent, brought by Constantine the Great from the Temple of Apollo in Delphi, Greece; and a Roman replica of the Column of Constantine, commemorating the achievements of the Roman emperor.

Hagia Sophia, a blend of Eastern Byzantine and Islamic architectural styles, has served as a Christian church, an Islamic mosque, and now a museum documenting precious cultural heritage. The Blue Mosque is a masterpiece by Mehmet Aga, a disciple of Sinan, one of the most accomplished architects in the Muslim world. It is a magnificent example of Ottoman architecture and art. Its use of Izni blue tiles imbues the mosque with a vibrant blue hue, earning it the name "Blue Mosque."
