• Dolmabahçe Palace - The European palace of the Ottoman Empire, constructed in 1856 by two Armenian architects. Dolmabahçe Palace, Turkey’s largest single-block palace, was commissioned by Sultan Abdülmecit in 1843. Built to counter the military and financial decline of the Ottoman Empire, Istanbul’s first European-style palace was grand, vast in size, and adorned with gold and crystal.

From the relocation of the Ottoman Empire’s administrative center from Topkapi Palace in 1856 until the abolition of the caliphate in 1924, Dolmabahçe Palace was home to six sultans.

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Turkish Republic, used the palace as a presidential residence during the summer and carried out some of his most significant works here, such as the introduction of the new alphabet. Troubled by health issues, he spent his final years in the palace until he passed away at 09:05 on November 10, 1938. In his honor, all the clocks in the palace are stopped at that exact time.

• Çamlıca Hill - Çamlıca Hill offers a panoramic view of the entire Istanbul, both European and Asian sides, making it a perfect spot for a coffee break. Çamlıca Hill is the most picturesque location for a panoramic view of Istanbul. It is approximately 3 kilometers (260 meters) from the 15 July Martyrs Bridge. It’s a delightful recreational area where visitors can relax and enjoy the stunning Istanbul panorama from the hill. On weekends, it’s an excellent spot for breakfast and dinner with a view of the Bosphorus. Since the Ottoman era, Çamlıca Hill has been the ideal place to view Istanbul from a bird’s eye perspective, capturing the hearts of lovers for centuries and leaving lasting memories.

• Mısır Çarşısı (Spice Market) - Savor delicious Turkish Delight, dried fruits, and nuts. A quintessential part of any trip to Istanbul is wandering through the Spice Bazaar, also known as the Egyptian Bazaar (Mısır Çarşısı). Beneath the ornate vaulted ceilings, visitors will find an array of delectable treats and souvenirs appealing to tourists, all in one place. These include spices, dried fruit, cheese, sausage, jam, nuts, seeds, tea, dozens of flavors of Turkish Delight, and more. Jewelry, ceramics, silver, and other handicrafts are also available.

Built in 1664, the bazaar was originally a place where goods imported from Egypt were sold, which is how it got its name. Later, it became known as the Spice Bazaar due to the variety of goods and spices imported from various countries besides Egypt. The Spice Bazaar is constructed in an “L” shape with a total of 113 shops. During the Ottoman Empire, the bazaar served as a pharmacy for many years.
