Highlights
Explore the Church of Holy Wisdom, Hagia Sophia, with an amazing skip-the-line guided tour.
Admire the unique architecture of the Hagia Sophia.
Hagia Sophia is probably Istanbul's best-known landmark. The soaring domes, peach colouring and minarets rise above the Old City attracting travellers from all over the world to come and learn from its 1500 year history. It was the heart of Byzantium and is the oldest building in the Sultanahmet area. The current structure is actually the third to be built on this site, as the previous two were destroyed by fire and riots.
There are centuries of Christian and Islamic history to discover with icons of both religions appearing side by side. There are also other interesting treasures to see including Viking alphabets, the Tomb of Princes, the "weeping" or "crying" column and more. Don't miss out on your guided tour of the Hagia Sophia!
