    List of the places you will visit:

    Roman Hippodrome: The Hippodrome is an ancient Greek stadium designed for horse racing and especially chariot racing. Its Roman counterpart was called a circus and best represented, one best heritage from the Roman Empire:

    What To See At The Hippodrome? The Hippodrome itself is a large green open-air park and there are 3 important monuments in its central area to see:

    1. The Egyptian Obelisk: Built-in the 16th century BC by the Pharaoh Tutmosis in Egypt. It was brought to Istanbul by boat in the 4th century AD.

    2. The Serpentine’s Column: Originally erected in the Temple of Delphi in Greece, but taken to Istanbul. Until the 17th century, three bronze snakeheads were projecting from the column, but they have since been lost. One can be seen in the archaeological museum.

    3. The Column of Constantine: Although it is believed that this dates from the 10th century, evidence shows that it was built earlier than that. Until 1204, it was covered by bronze and silver. When the Crusaders came to the area, they pulled off the bronze and silver, melted them down, and made coins out of them.

    Blue Mosque: The Blue Mosque in Istanbul, also known by its official name, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, is an Ottoman-era historical imperial mosque located in Istanbul, Turkey. It was constructed between 1609 and 1617 during the rule of Ahmed I and remains a functioning mosque today.

    Hagia Sophia Mosque: Hagia Sophia is an important Byzantine structure in Istanbul and one of the world’s great monuments. It was built as a Christian church in the 6th century CE (532–537) under the direction of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I. In subsequent centuries it became a mosque, a museum, and a mosque again...

    Topkapi Palace: Topkapı Palace Museum, the museum in Istanbul that exhibits the imperial collections of the Ottoman Empire maintains an extensive collection of books and manuscripts in its library. It is housed in a palace complex that served as the administrative center and residence of the imperial Ottoman court from about 1478 to 1856. It opened as a museum in 1924, a year after the establishment of the Republic of Turkey.

    Grand Covered Bazaar: The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world, with 61 covered streets and over 4,000 shops on a total area of 30,700 m², attracting between 250,000 and 400,000 visitors daily
