Plan your Istanbul experience

Istanbul, written İstanbul in Turkish, spans neighbourhoods on both sides of the Bosphorus. Plan a day around a manageable area or crossing rather than trying to visit every major sight at once.

Historic-site visits, guided walks and Bosphorus cruises each offer a different perspective. Check the areas included in a landmark ticket and the route, pier and commentary of a boat trip before comparing prices.

Read entry and dress guidance for religious sites. Leave time for crossings and busy streets, and use the exact meeting point rather than only the attraction’s name.

Istanbul Self Guided Audio Tour

Istanbul Self Guided Audio Tour

Explore Istanbul at your own pace with a digital audio tour from the Grand Bazaar to Sultanahmet, covering the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkapı Palace.

Listed duration: 180 minutes

About this experience and booking advice

Book the Istanbul self-guided audio tour and explore the city of spices, scents and scene-stealing landmarks with a digital guide on your phone. Starting at the Grand Bazaar, the tour takes you past the Byzantine and Ottoman highlights of the old city, including the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapı Palace, at your own pace and on your own schedule. Allow about three hours. What the Istanbul audio tour covers The route brings Istanbul's rich history to life, a story woven by many different civilisations. Stand in Sultanahmet Square surrounded by architectural brilliance, admire the fountain at Suleymaniye Square, and learn the background of the iconic Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapı Palace before you decide which to visit inside. The tour also helps you venture into districts such as Fatih, with its museums, mosques and bazaar, and Beyoğlu, an artistic powerhouse since the 1980s and 1990s. Detailed maps, audio commentary and insider tips make it easy to plan your day. How the Istanbul self-guided audio tour works After booking, you receive instructions to activate the audio tour. Scan the QR code in your confirmation with your phone and the app store opens, downloads the app and logs you in. If you cannot scan a QR code, tap the link below it: on a phone it installs the app and signs you in, and on a computer it shows your login details and download steps. Download the tour over WiFi before you set out, so you are ready to go when you reach the start. The starting point is at the Grand Bazaar (Kapalıçarşı), Zincirli Han, ground floor no. 20, Fatih, Istanbul. There is no live guide, so you simply open the app, press play and follow the map. Commentary is available in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish, and you have unlimited access to all the self-guided features. Who the Istanbul audio tour suits The tour is a good fit for independent travellers, couples and families who want context without joining a group. It works well on a first day in the city, helping you get your bearings in Sultanahmet and around the bazaar, and it is equally useful if you want to explore at a slower pace with plenty of stops for tea, food and shopping. Pause whenever you like and pick up the commentary again when you are ready. Wear comfortable shoes, as the old city has hills and busy streets, and dress respectfully if you plan to enter mosques along the way. What to bring and what is not included Bring a charged smartphone and your own headphones, as neither is supplied.
