      What to Do

      Tour Old City

      Enlist a tour guide, like Unison Turkey, to show you around the oldest area of Istanbul. Don’t miss the 1,500-year-old Hagia Sophia, which was originally built as a basilica and spent time as a mosque before it was transformed into a museum. The nearly destroyed mosaics are as impressive as the structure’s enormous domes, making the site a masterpiece of Byzantine architecture. The sprawling Topkapi Palace and the Blue Mosque are within walking distance of the Hagia Sophia.

      What to Do

      Visit a Hammam

      No trip to Turkey is complete without a few hours at a hammam. For a one-of-a-kind cleansing and relaxation experience, head to Ayasofya Hurrem Sultan Hamam, which was designed and built by Mimar Sinan, the chief architect for sultans during the 16th century.
