1. Our licensed tour guide will meet you in front of the German Fountain, a beautifully crafted gift from Kaiser Wilhelm II to the Ottoman Empire. You’ll learn about its golden mosaics, Ottoman-German history, and the hidden symbolism in its design. This stop also sets the stage for exploring other nearby landmarks like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.

   20分

2. The Blue Mosque, also known as Sultanahmet Camii, is one of Istanbul’s most breathtaking monuments. With its six minarets and majestic domes, it dominates the skyline of the Old City. Inside, visitors are surrounded by thousands of handmade blue İznik tiles and intricate calligraphy. The mosque is still active, so you’ll witness its role in daily religious life while learning about its architectural brilliance and the legacy of Sultan Ahmet I. Modest clothing is required, and entry may be adjusted around prayer times.

   40分

3. Discover Roman and Byzantine history at the ancient Hippodrome, once the social and political heart of Constantinople. Walk along the very grounds where chariot races, imperial ceremonies, and public gatherings took place for over a thousand years. You’ll see remarkable monuments like the Egyptian Obelisk, the Serpent Column, and the Walled Obelisk—each with its own fascinating story that reflects the city’s imperial past.

4. Step into the world of the Ottoman sultans at Topkapı Palace, once the imperial residence and administrative center of the empire for over 400 years. Wander through lavish courtyards, marvel at intricate tilework, and explore opulent chambers filled with treasures, including the Prophet Muhammad’s relics and the famous Topkapı Dagger. Visitors can also enjoy panoramic views of the Bosphorus from the palace terraces. The optional Harem section offers a glimpse into the private lives of the sultans and their families.

5. Explore the legendary Hagia Sophia Mosque in Istanbul, a must-see UNESCO World Heritage Site that reflects over 1,500 years of history. Originally built as a Byzantine cathedral, later converted into an Ottoman mosque, and now functioning as a mosque again, Hagia Sophia blends Christian mosaics and Islamic calligraphy under one magnificent dome. Marvel at its massive columns, golden mosaics, and the sheer scale of its architecture as your guide explains its historical transformation through the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman eras. Entry is free, but respectful dress is required, and access may be restricted during prayer times. A highlight of any Istanbul historical walking tour.

About イスタンブール

イスタンブールはボスポラス海峡をはさんでヨーロッパとアジアにまたがり、ビザンティンとオスマンの遺産、にぎやかなバザール、大陸を結ぶフェリーがあります。

歴史地区のある半島に、最も重要な名所が集まっています。スルタンアフメトにはアヤソフィア、ブルーモスク、ヒッポドロームが向かい合い、地下にはバシリカ・シスターンが眠り、金角湾を見下ろす丘にはトプカプ宮殿が広がります。少し歩けば、何世紀も取引が続くグランド・バザールとスパイス・バザールがあり、偉大なオスマン建築家ミマール・スィナンの手になるスレイマニエ・モスクは、市内に七つあるといわれる丘のひとつにそびえています。
