Divan
Yolu Walking Tour
Once
the road to Rome, Divan
Yolu is now the main thoroughfare
through historic Old Istanbul (Sultanahmet).
You can walk from the Milion,
the Byzantine mile-marker
for the center of Constantinople,
past mosques, the tombs of the sultans, Ottoman theological
schools, Turkish
baths,
the Column
of Constantine, and
other sights to Beyazit
Square and the Grand
Bazaar in less than
an hour.
Istanbul
Bazaars Walking Tour
From
the mammoth Grand
Bazaar along narrow, untouristy Uzunçarsi
Caddesi through the heart
of the Tahtakale market
district to the Golden
Horn and Egyptian
(Spice) Bazaar, all in less
than an hour, including a stop
at the exquisite Rüstem
Pasha Mosque, one of Istanbul's
most beautiful, but rarely visited
by tourists.
Beyoglu's Istiklal Caddesi
Formerly the Grande Rue de Péra, Istiklal
Caddesi (Independence Avenue) is
the heart of Beyoglu,
the more European part of Istanbul.
Today it's a pedestrian
zone running from Taksim
Square to Galatasaray
Square and Tünel
Square, and lined
with boutiques, cafes, restaurants,
fine
old buildings,
and the grand 19th-century
imperial embassies built for European
diplomatic missions to the Ottoman sultan's Sublime
Porte.
