The Attractions Segway Tours Include

Segway Tours are very popular for Istanbul travelers, providing a journey from Sultanahmet Square to the heart of the ancient city. There are lots of outstanding tourist attractions in Istanbul that you may observe while riding your Segway. During the tour, Sultanahmet Square and the Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace, and Hagia Sophia are visited. One of the stops of the tours has also been designated as Gülhane Park, which is the oldest city park in Istanbul as well as the former royal garden to the Ottoman imperial palace. After the park, the mosques of Cemberlitas, Sehzade, and Suleymaniye are visited by Segway.
 

• The Blue Mosque is one of the best places to visit in Istanbul and symbolizes the long history and culture of the city. Sultanahmet Mosque, also known as the Blue Mosque, was built in the 17th century by the Sultan I. Ahmet, one of the Ottoman sultans of the era. The walls of the mosque are paved with thousands of Iznik tiles, and the upper structure is surrounded by domes. The mosque has a fairly large structure, and there are also madrasas, shops, and rented rooms in its complex. Istanbul Tourist Pass organizes guided tours of the Blue Mosque, one of the most interesting tourist attractions of the city.

• Another point that you will see and pass during your trip with Segway Tours will be the Hippodrome. This square contains traces of the transition from the Byzantine Empire to the Ottoman Empire in the long-established history of Istanbul. During the Byzantine period, this rather spacious square served for car racing, while during the Ottoman period it was used for festivities and parades. The square is so wide that it is said that races with a hundred thousand spectators were held during the Byzantine period.

• Topkapı Palace is another Istanbul beauty that you will witness with your Segway during Segway Tours. The palace is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city, which you can visit with a guide by the arrangements of the Istanbul Tourist Pass. This historical building was built by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror, who conquered Istanbul in 1473. The palace was turned into a museum by the Republic of Turkey in 1924. Visitors who want to be fascinated by the magnificent structure of Topkapi and its long-established history should add the place to their Istanbul travel itinerary.

• Another historical building that you can easily see with Segway Tours is Hagia Sophia. This structure bears traces of the Byzantine and the Ottoman Empires, similar to many historical monuments found in Istanbul. Hagia Sophia was built as a church in the 6th century when Istanbul was still called Constantinople. After the Ottoman Empire captured Istanbul, the building was renovated as a mosque. Don't forget to add Hagia Sophia, which is considered one of the important symbols of Istanbul today, to your Istanbul travel itinerary.
