There is no better way to see Istanbul than on a double-decker, hop-on hop-off bus! See top Istanbul attractions on this comprehensive sightseeing tour, such as Topkapi Palace, Taksim Square, Bosphorus Bridge, the Golden Horn and much more. The buses are open top, allowing for 360-degree panoramic views as you travel along your route. Hop on and off as many times as you like on your choice of two routes. Your ticket is valid for 24 or 48 hours; simply select an option to suit your schedule.Straddling the Asian and European continents, Istanbul has an abundance of cultural appeal with history, cuisine and architecture influenced by both the east and west. Both the Byzantines and the Ottomans left their mark on the city once known as Constantinople, and architectural legacies of the past are scattered around town. From the mysterious mosques of Sultanahmet to the modern day-to-day buzz of Taksim Square and Galata Bridge, Istanbul has something to wow even the most seasoned of visitors.

Aboard a comfortable, open-top, double-decker bus, admire top city attractions such as Hagia Sophia — the UNESCO-listed museum that once served as a church and then a mosque — and Bosphorus Bridge, an icon of modern-day Istanbul. Pass the fascinating miniature town of Miniaturk and perhaps hop off at Dolmabahçe Palace to discover one of the world’s grandest palaces.
