Sultanahmet

  Sultanahmet, in the heart of Istanbul, is a historical district known for its significant cultural sites. The area is home to the iconic Hagia Sophia, originally built as a cathedral in 537 AD and later transformed into a mosque. One of the main features of Sultanahmet is the densely packed historical architecture that draws countless visitors year-round, particularly during the spring months of April and May when the weather is ideal for exploring. While wandering the cobblestoned streets, visitors can also enjoy local restaurants and shops that reflect the vibrant atmosphere of this ancient neighborhood. Don't miss the opportunity to witness the intricate details of the Sultanahmet Mosque, also known as the Blue Mosque, which sits just a short walk away.
