The Hippodrome: Egyptian Obelisks and Ottoman Street History
★4.8(30450)
Don't expect a race track anymore; this square is now just a wide-open public space perfect for people-watching. Focus on the Egyptian Obelisk and the Serpentine Column, which date back way further than the surrounding mosques. Spend 30 minutes here while walking between the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Skip the overpriced private tours that dwell too long on the history; just grab a simit from a street cart and keep moving.
Address: Sultan Ahmet Parkı 2, Fatih, Istanbul, 34122
