أبرز ما فيها

Descend beneath Istanbul to explore the Basilica Cistern, a fascinating underground world of marble columns, shimmering waters, and ancient legends. Built in the 6th century during the Byzantine era, this vast reservoir once supplied water to imperial palaces and public baths. Today, its hundreds of columns, reflected in the still water under soft lighting, create a unique and mysterious atmosphere. Enjoy fast-track entry with your guide and discover the stories behind Byzantine engineering, the cistern’s history, and the famous Medusa heads with their unusual placement and symbolism.

About Istanbul

Istanbul straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus, with Byzantine and Ottoman monuments, busy bazaars and ferries crossing between continents.

The historic peninsula holds the greatest landmarks. Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Hippodrome face each other in Sultanahmet, the Basilica Cistern lies beneath the streets, and Topkapı Palace spreads across the hill above the Golden Horn. A short walk away, the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar have traded for centuries, and Süleymaniye Mosque, built by the great Ottoman architect Sinan, crowns one of the city's seven hills.

Top-ranked sights in Istanbul: Dolmabahce Palace (Dolmabahce Sarayi), Bosphorus, Bosphorus Bridge (Bogazici Koprusu).
