"Istanbul's Old Town is an area that makes you feel like you've entered the world of the Middle Ages. It's a fun place to walk around the city, with historical buildings such as the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace. ✨

《Overview》 The Old Town is called the "Sultanahmet District" and was once the center of Constantinople. It is packed with history from the Eastern Roman Empire to the Ottoman Empire and modern Turkey. There are ruins and historical mosques all over the city, and it is registered as a World Heritage Site.

《Impressions》 The majestic appearance of the Blue Mosque, the golden mosaics inside Hagia Sophia, and the view of the strait from the courtyard of Topkapi Palace... Everywhere you look is impressive, and it feels like you're walking through a history textbook. 📖

《Access/Tips》 The nearest tram station is "Sultanahmet". There are many tourist attractions within walking distance, so comfortable shoes are a must. If you go early in the morning, there will be fewer people and it will be easier to take photos. There are cafes and bazaars nearby, so you can enjoy stopping by!
