Right next door is the Blue Mosque, known for its mesmerizing blue tiles. We'll wander through the Hippodrome, where chariot races once thrilled the crowds, passing the Serpentine Column, the Obelisk of Theodosius, and the German Fountain. Craving a little treasure hunt? The Grand Bazaar – the world’s largest covered market – is a maze of colors, scents, and souvenirs you’ll never forget. Finally, we'll step into the opulent Topkapi Palace, once the seat of Ottoman power. After this history-packed day, we head back to the hotel to recharge.
