Leave the present day behind and take a wander around Old Istanbul, the wonderful old Sultanahmet district.
This World Heritage-listed district is crammed with historic buildings and enough magical atmosphere to keep you enthralled for days.
Drink in the majesty of Aya Sofya, a museum-church-mosque all in one, and admire the Blue Mosque that mirrors it. Spend days amid the riches of Topkapi Palace, and discover the underground world of the Basilica Cistern.
Then shop for everything from curly-toed slippers to magic lanterns in the massive Grand Bazaar.
