    List of the places you will visit:

    Basilica Cistern Museum: One of the magnificent historical structures of Istanbul is the Basilica Cistern located to the southwest of Hagia Sophia. This large underground cistern, built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I (527-565), was popularly called the "Basilica Palace" due to the seemingly countless marble columns rising from the water. Since there was a Basilica before where the cistern was located, it is also known as the Basilica Cistern. The cistern is a giant structure that covers a rectangular area with a length of 140 meters and a width of 70 meters. There are 336 columns, each 9 meters high, inside this cistern, which can be accessed via a 52-step stone staircase. These columns, erected 4.80 meters apart, form 12 rows of 28 columns each.

    Hagia Sophia Mosque (Museum) Hagia Sophia is a basilica-planned patriarchal cathedral built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I in the old city center of the historical peninsula of Istanbul, in a short period of 5 years, depending on the period, between 532 and 537. It was built by Fatih Sultan Mehmet after the conquest of Istanbul by the Ottomans in 1453. It was converted into a mosque in 2022. Hagia Sophia, which is among the most important monuments of world architectural history that has survived until today; It constitutes an important place for the art world in terms of its architecture, magnificence, size, and functionality. Hagia Sophia History and Experience Museum, opened to visitors in the Defter-i Hakani Nezareti building, tells the approximately 1700-year history of Hagia Sophia. The Roman Empire Period on the third floor of the museum, and the Ottoman Period on the second floor, are explained with an immersive visual and audio presentation with the opportunities offered by new-generation technology. On the first floor, there are four sections, most of which are exhibited for the first time: Church, Mosque, Museum, and Mosque again. Additionally, the cistern from the Eastern Roman period can be viewed from the windows on the ground floor of the building. Hagia Sophia History and Experience Museum offers a unique experience for those who want to experience the rich history of Hagia Sophia from a holistic perspective.

    Istanbul Archaeological Museums: Turkey's first museum, hosts more than 1 million artifacts from ancient civilizations established in a large geography extending from Anatolia to the Caucasus, from Mesopotamia to Arabia. Istanbul Archaeological Museums, which are described as museum complexes; It consists of three main sections in total: the Archaeological Museum, the Museum of Ancient Oriental Works, and the Tiled Pavilion Museum. The founding story of the Istanbul Archaeological Museum dates back to the Ottoman period....

    The Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum: The Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts is one of the world's leading museums in its field, with nearly 40 thousand artifacts and rare artifacts. The museum, where the artistic products of many civilizations established in Turkish and Islamic geography are exhibited, has a wealth of works that cover a time period extending chronologically from the early Islamic period to the last century of the Ottoman Empire. In 1907, a fire broke out in the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus and the historical archive kept in the treasury section of the mosque was damaged. For this reason, the works in question were brought to the capital Istanbul from Damascus, which was within the Ottoman borders at that time, in 1917, under the supervision of a delegation headed by İsmet Bey, a member of the board of directors of the Evkaf-ı İslamiye Museum, to be protected. This collection, named "Damascus Papers" because it was brought to the museum from the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, contains more than 200,000 Quran leaves, archive documents and volumes recorded in 13882 items.

    Istanbul Eastern Roman Imperial Grand Palace Mosaic Museum: The mosaics unearthed during the excavations that started in 1935 in the northeastern part of the porticoed courtyard of the Grand Palace of the Eastern Roman Empire are magnificent both in terms of artistry and the richness of description of the scenes. The works exhibited in the Great Palace Mosaics Museum date back to A.D. While it is dated between 450-550, the mosaic subjects do not have religious content. The depictions taken from daily life, nature, and mythology probably owe their liveliness to the fact that they were prepared by many master artists under the direction of the leading masters of the age. The museum is located within the Arasta Market in the Sultanahmet Mosque Complex and was created to include the partially intact mosaic flooring in the northeastern part of the porticoed courtyard of the Grand Palace from the Eastern Roman Period. Only 180 square meters of the mosaic area has survived to the present day. The Great Palace Mosaics Museum was connected to the Istanbul Archaeological Museums in 1953. Since 1979, it has been a unit affiliated with the Hagia Sophia Museum Directorate. The restoration and conservation, which started in 1982 with the protocol between the General Directorate of Monuments and Museums of the Ministry of Culture and the Austrian Academy of Sciences, was completed in 1997.

    Museum Of The History Of Science And Technology In Islam: The museum consists of two floors. Upstairs; There is a Cinevision Hall where various visuals about the museum can be watched, Astronomy, Clock Technology, Maritime, War Technology, and Medicine Departments. On the lower floor, there is a section where maps and various map drawings related to Mines, Physics, Mathematics-Geometry, Urbanism and Architecture, Optics, Chemistry, and finally Geography are exhibited.

Ibn-i Sina Botanical Garden is located, 26 of which are located.

    Istanbul Sirkeci (Europe) Train Station: IThe design of Sirkeci Train Station belongs to German Architect August Carl Friedrich Jasmund. Jasmund, who came to Istanbul in 1887 to study Ottoman architecture, was first appointed as an architectural design instructor at Hendese-i Mülkiye. Later, he was tasked with the design of the Sirkeci Train Station by Rumelia Railways Company Manager Sarrazin. The construction of the station started in 1888 and was completed in 1890. An orientalist building, granite was used on the base of Sirkeci Train Station, and marble and stones brought from Marseille and Aden were used on its façade. The large stoves in the waiting rooms of the building, which were illuminated with gas in its early years, were brought from Austria. Just like in the large city stations of Europe, there were clocks on the towers rising on both sides of the building. Also in those years, the sea came much closer to the building and terraces led down to the sea.4 Jasmund's Sirkeci Train Station design bears orientalist influences. This feature of the building has been given different definitions by various researchers..
