Sultanahmet Square or the Hippodrome of Constantinople is a square in Istanbul, Turkey. Previously, it was a circus that was the sports and social center of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. Horse racing and chariot racing were popular pastimes in the ancient world and hippodromes were common features of Greek cities in the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine eras. The hippodrome was filled with statues of gods, emperors, animals and heroes, including some famous works that can be seen today, such as the Serpent Column, the Obelisk of Thutmose III and the Walled Obelisk.

Wandering through the winding streets of İstanbul, we stumbled upon a hidden courtyard adorned with mosaics that felt like stepping back in time. The guide’s insights into the history of Hagia Sophia added depth to our exploration of iconic landmarks, elevating our experience beyond a typical walking tour.

We had a fantastic time exploring the hidden gems and iconic landmarks of the city together as a family, marveling at the rich history and vibrant culture. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, adding depth to our experience, though a bit more time at each stop would have been appreciated.

Our day in İstanbul was transformed into a rich exploration of both the iconic landmarks and the hidden gems the city has to offer. We roamed through the stunning streets of Sultanahmet, where the Hagia Sophia left us awestruck with its grandeur. The combination of history and local stories from our guide truly made the experience unique and personal. One small suggestion would be to include a little more time at some of the lesser-known spots; we felt we could have lingered longer at a couple of them. Overall, we left with a deeper appreciation for this beautiful city and the memories of a delightful adventure together.
