Taksim Square

Sultanahmet

Luggage storage Istanbul

Sultanahmet is known as the “old city” for good reason. When building the subway station in 2004, workers uncovered archaeological artifacts from about 8,000 years ago, making the city one of the oldest in the world. And because of this, the area is one of the most historic places in Turkey with many ancient ruins, mosques, tombs, and palaces. You’ll also find many of the country’s museums and monuments in Sultanahmet tucked in between the more modern eateries, shops, and pubs. 

The architecture alone in this community makes it the perfect place for selfies and photos to share on your favorite social media sites. Because this is a tourist attraction, it does get crowded during certain times of the year so plan accordingly. However, with so much to see and do, you should not have any trouble getting in and out of the places you want to visit. 

Surrounded by water on three sides, including the Golden Horn, which is a major waterway in Istanbul, there is always a beautiful sunset to be seen in the evening. When paired with the beauty of the old walls and monuments, this is probably the most attractive place in the country. And it does not hurt that they have a plethora of souvenir shops, restaurants, bars, and malls to entertain you. There are plenty of parks to enjoy here as well with lush greenery and vibrant flowers. 

Fun Fact: The Sultanahmet Mosque (Blue Mosque) was named after Sultan Ahmet, who built a place of worship to vie with the Hagia Sophia. 

While you are in Sultanahmet, there are so many things to see and do, you may have a difficult time figuring out what to do first. It’s best to have your itinerary planned before going. Here are some of our suggestions.

Visit the Blue Mosque to see why they call it the Blue Mosque

Marvel at the ruins of the 5th-century palace with stunning gardens and archways

Go underground to see the Basilica Cistern with over 330 marble columns

What used to be a hunting ground for the rich and royal is now a park full of tulips, roses, and other flowers. History is also important here with many memorials and buildings like the Column of the Goths, Royal Stables, and the Sublime Porte. The southern entrance boasts several museums, including the Museum of History, Science, & Technology, the Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar Literature Museum, and the Tombs Museum. Although separated from the Topkapi Palace Museum by a wall, you can still visit the museum and grounds where they have an elephant garden, fig garden, and several pavilions and kiosks.

Drop your luggage with Bounce before heading into the park because you cannot bring them to the museums.
