Photos of Historic Areas of Istanbul

Istanbul consists of two parts: the new city and the old city. In 1985, the old city was listed as a world cultural heritage. This historical area with many monuments and museums is also the essence of Istanbul tourism, covering Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Torre Pukapa Palace, Basilica Cistern and many other famous attractions. Looking around here, you can see the vicissitudes of historical sites, witnessing the historical evolution of Istanbul for thousands of years. The Grand Bazaar, Egyptian Market, Galata Bridge and other areas are always full of people and a thriving scene. Since there are many important attractions in the old city, it takes less than 1-2 days to visit. Many tourists will choose to live here and walk to the major attractions. Of course, there are also trams that shuttle between the undulating ramps, making it very convenient to travel. In addition, the various hardware facilities in the old city are also very suitable for tourists, and there are many travel agencies, money exchanges, restaurants, small shops and so on.
