Begin with a visit to Hagia Sophia. This site has transformed from a Christian church to a mosque and now serves as a museum. Stand beneath its dome, view the mosaics, and learn about its long history.

After exploring Hagia Sophia, take a Bosphorus cruise. Sail along Istanbul's shoreline, passing historic palaces, mosques, and fortresses. From the boat, see both the European and Asian sides of the city and enjoy a new perspective of Istanbul's skyline. As you continue the cruise, look at the bridges that connect the continents.

Meet your guide at the Dsign Cafe in front of the Turkish and Islamic Art Museum located on the Hippodrome, right next to Egyptian Obelisk.
