The Bosphorus Strait defines Istanbul. It is the divide between Europe and Asia, and the main connection between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara. Dotted with parks and elaborate Ottoman mansions, including Dolmabahce Palace, and spanned by three intercontinental bridges, it's easy to see why this legendary waterway has been a force in Istanbul for over 3 thousand years: Miles away from civilization yet only an hour drive from some of Turkey’s most exciting destinations like Cappadocia or Antalya Beach - just jump on board our boat tours along the majestic Bosphorus!
Whether you’re a history buff, backpacker, or traveller who never left the couch, travel to Hagia Sophia is a journey of discovery. From its humble beginnings as a Church built in 532 AD to its metamorphosis into both a Mosque and Museum constructed by Emperor Theophilus ten centuries later, Hagia Sophia has been an integral part of Istanbul's rich cultural heritage for over 1120 years. And while she may have been converted from one house of worship to another during various eras in her illustrious existence (and reconstructed more than once thanks to fire and other natural disasters), the original church structures inspired all manner of Ottoman architecture in and around Turkey that we can still see today!
Join your knowledgeable guide to explore the historic streets of Istanbul, including the Grand Bazaar. Prepared to be amazed! You'll come face-to-face with some mind-blowing historical landmarks, like Hagia Sophia or Saint Sophi's Church. With Trip4real tours, you will have an unforgettable experience while experiencing Turkish culture in all its glory.
If you’re looking for an adventure, head to the Blue Mosque. Voted in one of the world's most anticipated destinations by Forbes magazine, Istanbul welcomes travellers seeking something new.
A day trip to the Bosphorus Bridge is the perfect escape from your everyday routine. Discover one of Turkey's most iconic sights with gorgeous views, luxurious tea houses and restaurants, and bustling local markets. Enjoy an unforgettable boat ride filled with awe-inspiring monuments like Ataturk’s Monument (Ataturk Anıtı) in Maçka; Galata Tower (Galata Kulesi); Dolmabahçe Palace (Dolmabahçe Sarayı); Rumeli Fortress (Rumeli Hisarı), built by Ahmet III following his conquest of Bulgaria; Ortaköy Mosque; Seraglio Point on Bebek Bay.
From top to bottom, you'll see it all. This is your chance to travel the world without leaving the tower. Bring your camera for this one in order to capture Istanbul at its finest in a way that only this height can provide. As an added bonus, when you get back down on the solid ground, stop by a visit the local vendors down below for some of the most interesting Turkish delights around!
Explore Istanbul’s Spice Bazaar, a trove of saturated scents and flavour-filled moments. Curiously explore the vast hallways full of towering barrels overflowing with spices - cubeb pepper, fennel seeds, serrano chiles – all the way down to aromatics like cloves and cinnamon sticks. Wander at your own pace or pull a guide if you’d like company for an adventure through time. Deer your eyes above stacks upon stacks of tea leaves from Wuyi Shan in China to Sri Lanka's Dunedin valley as you sip one responsibly sourced brew after another.
