Nothing quite prepares the first time visitor for Istanbul. A city of nearly fourteen million, its monumental architectural vistas and cacophony of street sounds can be both exhilarating and daunting. But strolling through the streets in your own time and using the local trams and one of the world’ s oldest funiculars, you will be able to experience just in eight to nine hours the rich cultural tapestry of this bustling metropolis. This is a global city encompassing a multitude of cultures, religions, customs and one which uniquely strides East and West.
This day itinerary covers three principle areas that will offer visitors a taste of Istanbul’ s history and cultural scene. Sultanahmet, The Bazaar Quarter and Beyoglu.
