WHAT YOU VISIT
Panoramic Istanbul by Night
Ideal for those who prefer moderate walking, this nighttime look at Istanbul begins with a drive over the Galata Bridge with views of the Old City's Sea Walls and the Sea of Marmara, and into the heart of the Old City where you'll stop for photos. Continuing on, you'll travel past a number of glittering gems. Did you know that Istanbul has some of the most exquisite examples of mosques in the world? Two impressive examples include the Blue Mosque, renowned for its domes and minarets and an interior dotted with 20,000 delicate blue Iznik tiles in 33 shades; and Hagia Sophia, aka the Church of Holy Wisdom. Built by Constantine the Great in 325, it was converted to a mosque by the Sultan Mehmet in 1453.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
And don't forget the camera-Istanbul in the glow of night will provide you with one jaw-dropping photo opportunity after another.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Settle in your seat as your coach travels past more must-see sites including the German Fountain and Obelisks in the Byzantine Hippodrome. Once at the heart of Constantinople's political and sporting life, it is now a tranquil city park.
