Must visit during Ramadan and hang around in festival area. Dont forget to try local foods from small cubicles. U will love it. And must take a panoramic photo from the center of the square
Sometimes it's really good to be a tourist in your own city. Seeing that many people cueing for the places you take for granted reminds you of the magnificence of Istanbul.
Somehow everything starts and ends here. Beside having almost all main attractions around here, on a sunny day you should just sit and soak up the sun and energy of the city.
Another great spot not to miss in the heart of history is Chora Museum which is significant with Byzantine frescoes. For more information, here is the official application. http://bit.ly/P3nsXi
Very beautiful place, unfortunately full of freaks that follow you around and take photos of you. They get scared ones you tell them you will call the police
In the middle of the most important touristattractions, in the hustoric OldTown. Just be careful with beggers and pickpocketers. Otherwise nice place to enjoy a sunny afternoon.
It's the most representative landscape of Istanbul. Try the roasted corn they sell in the little shops. And of course, don't leave without a selfie with the Blue Mosque on the background.
Beautiful place to take pics, rest and observe. Won't buy street food though, it's of inferior quality, overpriced and not always health&safety complacent as they handle food and money with same hands
A very remarkable place with the fountains, flowers and a view over Aya Sofia and the Blue Mosque. Lots of souvenir stalls and delicious food here such as roasted chestnuts.
It is good time to go in the morning. see my suggestions for drinking coffee and eating. Do not spend a lot of money. they are ripping you off . Be careful to your bags and pockets
If you're willing to come here about 4 or 5am, it is completely empty and unbelievably majestic... you can have the entire square with its views to yourself.
Good for walks but for God's sake don't eat here, it's all overpriced and of a doubtful quality. Walk towards Sirkeci (2 tram stops direction Kabatas) and have your lunch there three times cheaper.
There are lots of strange looking man walking around and ask you " do u need free guide for sight seeings" . Please beware of those !!! They are the touts of carpet dealers ! They rip you off harshly!
Most cheap leather shop ( leather jacket, leather belt, leather wallet) is in here, Divan Center No 33 . İf you ask anybody they can show you Divan Center.
Sultanahmet Meydanı İstanbul'un en önemli meydanlarından biridir. Bizans devrinde Hipodrom olarak bilinirdi. “Hipodrom” At binenlerin, atların meydanı anlamına gelir. Osmanlı döneminde buraya At Meydanı denirdi.
