How to get there
The historic city and the old Péra
Steps: Istanbul
Start with a visit to the must-see Topkapi Palace and its harem, which will hold you for the morning. Then go up to Sultanahmet and after a short lunch break, head for the Basilica of Saint Sophia. As you leave it, dive into the fantastic cave of the Basilica Tank, which is a few metres away. Then cross the gardens leading to the Blue Mosque and head to the adjacent Hippodrome Square. All these sites are within a restricted area, so the tour can be done in one afternoon. In the early evening, cross the Golden Horn over the Galata Bridge to reach the old Péra district dominated by the Genoese tower of Galata. In the passageways and alleys surrounding Tünel Square, you will have plenty to choose from to choose from for a restaurant and a drink in one of the countless cafés bordering Istiklal Caddesi. You will be able to enjoy the hectic Istanbul evenings.
