About
Istanbul's living history is vividly illustrated through its iconic neighborhoods and landmarks. In Sultanahmet, visitors can explore the architectural grandeur of the Hagia Sophia, a structure that has stood for nearly 1,500 years, and the Blue Mosque, famed for its striking blue tiles. Nearby, the ancient Hippodrome offers a glimpse into the city's Roman past, with its obelisks and remnants serving as reminders of the arena that once hosted chariot races.
