Aya Sofya & Sultanahmet
Many visitors to İstanbul never make it out of Sultanahmet. And while this is a
shame, it's hardly surprising. After all, its mosques and museums - including the
magnificent Aya Sofya - provide a time capsule of Byzantine and Ottoman his-
tory and culture unmatched anywhere in the world, and its impressive array of
sights, shops, hotels and eateries are all within easy walking distance.
