Simultaneously Byzantine and Ottoman, Asian and European, Istanbul’s blend of culture and architecture produces enough sights for a dozen vacations. Tourists can sample much of what Istanbul offers by visiting the sites clustered around Sultanahmet Square, such as the Blue Mosque, the Eastern Roman Empire’s Hippodrome and Greek-built Hagia Sophia. Also on the square, Topkapi Palace for 400 years housed sultans’ families, advisors, guards, treasury and harem. Among the displays are a tooth and hair from the prophet Mohammed. Uninhibited visitors may opt to visit a Turkish bath or harem. Most services include the traditional sauna, massage, bath and exfoliating scrub. For the perfect souvenir, travelers visit the Grand Bazaar, which has served as a crossroads for traders from the Orient, Indian subcontinent and Europe for nearly 600 years. Vendors sell spices, ceramics, carpets, jewelry and other treasures from around the world amid mosques, fountains and cafes.
