Free entry
Hippodrome of Constantinople
Once the people of Rome watched a chariot races from this place. With 100.000 capacity it was one of the biggest hippodrom in the world. Only 3 remains reach our day and that remains are the beautiful obelisks and columns.

Free entry
Blue Mosque
Second beauty in İstanbul, original name is Sultanahmet Mosque take the name from the who ordered to make this mosque Sultan Ahmet I. , but becouse they used blue tiles when they make this mosque people call this place Blue Mosque.

Outside visit
Hagia Sophia
For me it is the most beautiful thing in whole İstanbul. Just like Pope Paul VI said, 'This is the heaven'. If you visit to İstanbul you should definitely visit the Hagia Sophia.
