Hagia Sophia can be considered as the best and the most visited sights in Istanbul together with the neighboring Topkapi Palace. Hagia Sophia is a former church and museum and declared as one of the world’s greatest architectural works and accepted as the 8th wonder of the world. Built as a church in 325, Hagia Sophia was rebuilt in 537 and was converted into a mosque by Fatih Sultan Mehmet after the conquest of Istanbul in 1453.

The majestic Topkapi Palace served as the administrative and educational center of the Ottoman Empire for about 400 years. Today, it is a museum and one of the most famous and visited tourist attractions of Istanbul. Covering an area of around 700,000 square meters, the oriental palace resembles an open-air museum that showcases the glory of the Ottoman dynasty, with impressive collections, weapons, sacred relics, and the Topkapi Treasury.
