The Most Beautiful Places in Istanbul

We explored Istanbul’s Sultanahmet area, visiting the Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, Topkapı Palace, and the Basilica Cistern, where we saw the Medusa head, fish, and the Weeping Column. We also went to the Galata Bridge, watched the fishermen, met a traveler from Seoul, and enjoyed the views of the city. We had our Sennheiser microphone repaired in Istanbul, received a free battery, and tested the sound from the hostel rooftop.
