Your next stop will be at the magnificent Topkapi Palace which served as the residence of numerous Sultans between 1478 and 1856. Besides the main palace which houses a vast collection of antiques, the site also consists of treasury, an exquisite harem, along with numerous gardens and kiosks which are spread out over the neighborhood of the city’s historic center, all the way to the tip of the Golden Horn. It is today one of the most visited Istanbul tourist attractions.

Next, you will make your way to the famous Blue Mosque which is renowned for its six tall minarets and its architectural splendor. After spending some time at the mosque you will then make your way to the Roman Hipperdrome which once hosted chariot races and circuses which was the primary source of entertainment in Constantinople for hundreds of years.

Your final stop for the day will be at the Grand Market, a sprawling covered bazaar where you can literally buy anything and everything. Enjoy some free time at the market and then you’ll be transferred back to your hotel for the second night of your Turkey group tour.
