Full-Day Dolmabahce Palace and Two Continents Tour
Your day will start with a pickup from your hotel at 8:30 am, and we will first head to the Spice Bazaar, also known as the Egyptian Bazaar, where you can experience the exotic aromas of various spices, herbs, and Turkish delight. Here, you can buy souvenirs or taste some of the delicious local sweets.
After exploring the Spice Bazaar, we will continue to the Bosphorus Bridge, one of the most iconic landmarks of Istanbul. This bridge connects Europe and Asia and offers a breathtaking view of the city from the middle of the Bosphorus Strait.
Next, we will head to Camlica Hill, the highest point of Istanbul, located on the Asian side of the city. Here, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Bosphorus and the city skyline while sipping a cup of Turkish tea.
We will then proceed to the Bosphorus Cruise, a must-do experience in Istanbul. The boat tour will take you through the Bosphorus Strait, where you can see the beautiful mansions, palaces, and forts that line the coast. You will also get a chance to cross from Europe to Asia while cruising along the waters of the strait.
After the Bosphorus Cruise, we will break for lunch, where you can taste some of the delicious Turkish cuisines.
Finally, we will visit the Dolmabahce Palace, which was the residence of the Ottoman Sultans in the 19th century. The palace is a beautiful example of Ottoman architecture and features an impressive collection of art and furnishings.
