Historical

Orientation: Old City to Galata

We start where every visitor starts — the Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia from the outside — then cross into daily Istanbul: a tram ride down to Karakoy, the historical Tünel funicular up to Galata, and a short wander through the streets where Istanbulites actually live and work. By the end you'll know how to move through the city on your own.

All monuments viewed from the outside — no ticket queues
