    hrs Estimate Duration

Enjoy a panoramic drive through the most historical areas of Istanbul at night, when the city will be illuminated and absolutely mesmerizing. To reach the Old Town, you will cross Galata Bridge, which spans the Golden Horn, a waterway named for the shimmering golden color it takes on as the sun sets.


You will then pass the so-called new mosque, which was constructed in the 17th century, on the way to expansive Sultanahmet Square. As you will see firsthand, the square offers extraordinary views of the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia, a former cathedral that was converted into a museum. Both iconic buildings will radiate in the up-lighting, which casts bold shadows that make features such as the soaring minarets look even more dramatic. Upon reaching the Kumkapi quarter, you will settle in at an atmospheric restaurant for a traditional dinner. Chances are, seafood will be on the menu as Kumkapi is renowned for it.
