The Istanbul Archaeology Museums (İstanbul Arkeoloji Müzeleri) are a collection of three archaeological museums in Istanbul, Turkey.
The Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts (Türk ve İslam Eserleri Müzesi) is one of the finest museums in Istanbul. It’s located on the Hippodrome in Sultanahmet.
Sultanhamam is a small neighborhood between Eminönü, Sirkeci, and Mahmutpaşa in Istanbul. It was once the center of the fabrics industry in the city.
The Şehzade Mosque (Şehzade Camii), located in the Şehzadebaşı neighborhood of Istanbul, Turkey, is part of one of the most beautiful mosque complexes in the city.
Şehzadebaşı is a neighborhood in the Fatih district of Istanbul. It’s included in the UNESCO World Heritage listing for the Historic Areas of Istanbul, under the Suleymaniye Mosque and its Associated Component Area.
Sarayburnu Park (Sarayburnu Parkı) is located at the eastern tip of the historic peninsula of Istanbul. It sits at the point where the Bosporus meets the Golden Horn and the Marmara Sea.
The Bucoleon Palace (Βουκολέων) was one of the Byzantine palaces of Constantinople. The ruins are located in a small park on the Marmara Sea in the Küçük Ayasofya neighborhood. It’s just a short walk east of the Little Hagia Sophia Mosque.
Want to get off the beaten path in Istanbul? A good option is Kumkapı. This neighborhood on the shores of the Marmara Sea isn’t usually on the tourist radar. There are no big name attractions, but it’s nice to explore for a couple hours.
The Great Palace Mosaics Museum (Büyük Saray Mozaikleri Müzesi) in Istanbul displays mosaics unearthed at the site of the Great Palace of Constantinople. The museum is included in the UNESCO World Heritage listing for the Historic Areas of Istanbul.
