Night tour of Hagia Sophia and Byzantine history

For lovers of night tours, when the city is immersed in a magical atmosphere of lights and the frenetic daily rush subsides, we have prepared a night walking tour in the heart of Istanbul. We will visit the Historical Peninsula and especially the region of Sarayburnu, which began to be settled in the 7th century BC and became an administrative center during the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman periods.

Are you ready to visit the historically important area of Sultanahmet and the most amazing structure Hagia Sophia with a guide to its history and stories? On the way, we will visit hippodrome square, where the heart of the Byzantine Empire once beat with its monuments and historical events.

Finally, we take a night walk to the Çemberlitaş Column, a victory column erected in the name of the city’s founder and Emperor Constantine, who gave the city its name in 1930.
