Historical

Overview of Istanbul's Must Sees

A briskly paced walk past the monuments that built two empires. We don't go inside — instead we read the buildings from the squares and streets around them, so you leave with the historical arc clear in your head and a list of what to come back for. Ideal as a first day in the city.

All monuments viewed from the outside — no ticket queues
