1. Aya Sofya - Hagia Sophia was Turkey's most visited tourist attraction. Hagia Sophia is one of the greatest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. Its interior is decorated with mosaics and marble pillars and coverings of great artistic value.
2. Topkapi Palace (Topkapi Sarayi) - A huge tourist attraction, you will need up to half day to make the most of your visit.
The place is rich with history, and the setup is very informative in English, Turkish and Arabic. They also provide an audio guide which is well worth it.
3. Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmet Camii) - This Mosque is absolutely beautiful inside and out. The architecture of this Mosque is mind blowing and made on such a grand scale. It's a must visit place in Istanbul.
4. Basilica Cistern (Yerebatan Sarniçi) - The atmosphere is amazing. The largest of several hundred ancient cisterns that lie beneath the city of Istanbul.
5. Hippodrome - Great atmosphere is this square. Paved pathways with 'squares' of grass to sit and relax. Great touristy atmosphere and a lot of restaurants along the square. Very clean and well maintained.
6. Istanbul Archaeology Museum - Interesting and rich collection of artefacts but could have been better presented.
7. Grand Bazaar (Kapali Çarsi) - You can really feel what great bazaar is only when you walk inside and feel inside. So many shops sell a lot of food, souvenirs, and spices. You definitely miss turkey if you miss here! However a word of caution, most items are way over priced.
8. Süleymaniye Mosque - This one is a lot more beautiful, decorated with beautiful stained glass and colorful ceiling calligraphy. Furthermore, it is a "living" place of worship and a wonderful window into a culture different from mine. Best cultural site we did in Istanbul.
