Hotel Stays & Getaways
Istanbul Premium Getaway for Two: 2 Adults 2 Nights
The city of Istanbul has hundreds of gorgeous mosques and temples, but none are quite as famous as Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya), one of the wonders of the world. Astonishingly, this incredible building was built in the year 537 and has been one of the main pillars of faith in Europe since. The Hagia Sophia was the greatest architectural achievement in the world for centuries and the largest Christian church in the world until the 13th century. The building was converted into a mosque when the Ottomans took control of the area in the 15th century, and today, it is dedicated to showing a beautiful combination of the Islamic and Christian religions.
The mosque is absolutely mesmerising, and visitors should allocate at least a few hours to explore the entirety of the building. The domed roof seems to float above visitors’ heads and the colourful paintings that cover the interior are magical. The Hagia Sophia is an attraction not to be missed in Istanbul.
For more history, visitors should head to one of the most famous and oldest markets in the world. The Grand Bazaar has been a hub of commerce and trade between European and Asian merchants for centuries, today it is a confusing labyrinth of over 4000 stores, filled with an incomprehensible amount of handmade goods, intricately designed carpets and rugs, leather bags, copper & metal works, and glittering jewellery. Visitors are bound to get lost here, and that’s a good thing, but a full afternoon must be allocated to the Grand Bazaar.
With such an endless number of historic attractions to see in the ancient city of Istanbul, visitors will need to allocate at least two nights to explore the city. The perfect gift for travellers is this Istanbul hotel gift voucher that includes a two-night stay in any 4-5 star hotel in the city!
