Since Topkapi Palace served as a city within the city for the palace residents, the palace residents had to go out rarely. We will continue our tour with the sultan tombs.

Step into History with the Ottoman Relics Tour – Fairy Stone Travel
If you’re fascinated by history, culture, and the grandeur of the Ottoman Empire, then the Ottoman Relics Tour is a must-do experience. This journey takes you through the heart of Istanbul, where the echoes of the past meet the vibrant energy of the present. With Fairy Stone Travel, you’ll walk in the footsteps of sultans, explore stunning architecture, and dive into the rich heritage that shaped an empire.
Topkapi Palace – The Seat of Power
Our adventure begins at Topkapi Palace, the former residence of Ottoman sultans and the political heart of the empire for nearly 400 years. This sprawling complex isn’t just a palace—it’s a world of its own. You’ll explore lavish courtyards, intricate tilework, and the legendary Harem, where the empire’s most powerful women once lived. The Imperial Treasury houses dazzling artifacts, including the famed Topkapi Dagger and the stunning Spoonmaker’s Diamond.
Hagia Sophia – A Timeless Wonder
Next, we visit Hagia Sophia, a masterpiece that has witnessed the rise and fall of empires. Once a Byzantine cathedral, later an Ottoman mosque, and now a museum, this breathtaking structure is a fusion of two great civilizations. As you stand beneath its massive dome, you’ll see stunning mosaics, towering minarets, and a blend of Christian and Islamic art that tells the story of Istanbul’s unique past.
Blue Mosque – The Jewel of Ottoman Architecture
No visit to Istanbul is complete without stepping inside the Blue Mosque. Built by Sultan Ahmet I, this mosque is famous for its striking blue Iznik tiles, elegant domes, and six towering minarets. The moment you walk inside, you’ll be surrounded by a peaceful atmosphere, the soft glow of stained-glass windows, and intricate calligraphy adorning the walls. It’s a true masterpiece of Ottoman design.
Hippodrome Square – A Glimpse into the Past
Once the heart of Byzantine Constantinople, Hippodrome Square was the city’s social and sporting center. Today, it’s home to historical landmarks like the Egyptian Obelisk, the Serpent Column, and the German Fountain. As you walk through this historic space, imagine the grand chariot races and celebrations that once took place here.
Grand Bazaar – A Shopper’s Paradise
Our final stop is the Grand Bazaar, one of the world’s oldest and largest covered markets. With over 4,000 shops, this marketplace is a treasure trove of handmade carpets, spices, jewelry, ceramics, and souvenirs. Get lost in the maze of colorful stalls, bargain like a local, and take home a piece of Ottoman heritage.
