Visit one of the most famous sites in Istanbul, Topkapi Palace, located in the old town only a few meters from the Hagia Sophia. Combine this visit with a fabulous sea cruise on the Bosphorus Strait. From the boat you will be able to admire most historical buildings and almost all 7 hills of the eternal city. Meet a local host at the Topkapi Palace who will take you through a fast-track line to enter the site, after a short security check. Explore the gardens and admire the massive walls that secluded the Sultan from the outer world. Enter the different gardens through 3 consecutive gates and admire the Arabic architecture. Inside the buildings, see the mosque, the meeting point for the government officials and the Sultan, as well as some private rooms. After you visit the beautiful Topkapi Palace, make your way to the pier for your Bosphorus cruise. Enjoy a relaxing journey which takes you along the strait and inside the Golden Horn. While on the boat, take photos of the whole city and admire important monuments and mosques from a distance. The boat will return at the same point and then you are free to walk back to the old town center.
