What makes Istanbul Night Walking Tour a unique experience ?
Meet up at the meeting point before heading to our first stop, the Basilica Cistern. Dive into the depths of the largest cistern in Istanbul and learn about the history of this ancient cavern. Wander through the hauntingly beautiful chambers, all while enjoying the night’s cool breeze – a refreshing change from the daytime heat.
This famous area was once a place where the Byzantine emperors would hold chariot races. Get up close to the obelisk and marvel at its historical significance before calling it an evening well spent.
End the evening with a leisurely stroll around Sultanahmet Square and take in the city sights, which include Ibrahim Paşa Palace, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Hurrem Sultan Hammam. See the bright lights of these iconic buildings and snap memorable photos to save as memories of the evening! End the tour with a stop at Ticarethane Street for some refreshments.
