About Sultanahmet

Sultanahmet lies at the heart of the historic peninsula on Istanbul's European side, where the city's most important monuments stand side by side. Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace, the Basilica Cistern and the site of the ancient Hippodrome are all within walking distance of one another. Small hotels and guesthouses in the narrow streets make it a frequent choice for visitors who want to explore the sights on foot.

From Sabiha Gökçen, the route to Sultanahmet crosses the Bosphorus either through the undersea Eurasia Tunnel or over one of the bridges, which makes the Asian-side airport a practical option for the old city. The area around the square is pedestrianised and some streets carry the tram line, so your driver will drop you at the closest accessible point to your hotel. Writing your hotel name and street in the booking makes that point easy to find.
