Hagia Sofia, även känd som Ayasofya på turkiska, är en berömd historisk byggnad som ligger i Istanbuls gamla stadskärna. Den byggdes ursprungligen som världens största katedral av Bysantinska riket på 500-talet och omvandlades senare till en moské under Osmanska riket. Byggnaden är känd för sin massiva kupol och vackra mosaiker som återspeglar sin rika historia och arkitektoniska betydelse. 1935 byggdes det om till museum och 2020 byggdes det om till moské. Hagia Sofia har en viktig plats i konstvärlden med sin arkitektur, storslagenhet, storlek och funktionalitet.

Sultan Ahmed-moskén, även känd som Blå moskén, är en historisk moské i Istanbul, Turkiet. Den byggdes mellan 1609 och 1616 under sultan Ahmed I:s styre. Moskén är känd för sin fantastiska arkitektur, med sina sex minareter och vackra blå kakel pryder interiören, som ger den smeknamnet "Blå moskén." Det är en populär turistattraktion och en betydande symbol för Istanbuls skyline.
Hippodromen i Konstantinopel, även känd som Sultanahmettorget, är en gammal vagnsbana och det sportiga och sociala centrumet i Konstantinopel, huvudstaden i det bysantinska riket. Beläget i nuvarande Istanbul. platsen är nu ett offentligt torg känt för sin historiska betydelse och resterna av dess gamla strukturer. Hippodromen var en viktig plats för vagnstävlingar och andra offentliga evenemang under den bysantinska eran. Den var utsmyckad med monument och skulpturer, varav några står kvar än idag, inklusive Theodosius obelisk, Ormkolonnen och Konstantinkolonnen. Dessa monument är viktiga reliker från den romerska och bysantinska perioden och ger en inblick i stadens rika historia. Idag är Hippodromen ett populärt turistmål och en offentlig plats där besökare kan utforska de gamla ruinerna, lära sig om det historiska och kulturella arvet i Konstantinopel och njuta av den pulserande atmosfären i det moderna Istanbul.
Topkapipalatset är ett storslaget och historiskt betydelsefullt palats beläget i Istanbul. Det fungerade som de osmanska sultanernas primära residens och administrativa högkvarter i nästan 400 år. Palatskomplexet är känt för sin fantastiska arkitektur, vackra innergårdar och omfattande Samlingar av konst, manuskript och andra skatter. Topkapipalatset består av flera sammanlänkade innergårdar och byggnader, inklusive det kejserliga haremet, där sultanens familj bodde. I palatset finns också Skattkammaren, som innehåller en imponerande samling av ovärderliga juveler, inklusive den berömda Skedmakarens Diamant och Topkapi Dolk.

Basilica Cistern Museum är en av de viktigaste kulturella tillgångarna där vi kan spåra spåren av Istanbuls ärorika historia. Denna stora underjordiska cistern, byggd av den östromerske kejsaren Justinianus I (527 - 565), har fått smeknamnet ”Yerebatan Sarayı” (Sänkta Palatset) bland allmänheten på grund av dess många marmorpelare som reser sig ur vattnet. Den är också känd som “Bazilika Sarnıcı” (Basilica Cistern) av vissa, eftersom den byggdes på platsen för den tidigare Stoa basilikan, som var en basilika. Basilikacisternen besöks av USA:s förre president Bill Clinton. Impresiv romersk imperiestruktur enligt Dan Browns roman "Inferno" och James Bond "Från Ryssland med kärlek" Basilikacisternen finns med på UNESCO:s världsarvslista och är ett populärt turistmål som lockar besökare från hela världen.

Our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable however, I think we picked the wrong tour for us. We didn't realizing that it was mainly focused in one area and all walking and not driving to different locations in the city. The Mosque and Topkopi Palace were nice to visit. We were disappointed with paying as much as we did for private tour, then having to pay an additional $120 fee to get in. We denied paying another fee and cut the day short which was still 4 to 5 hours. It was a costly day.
