What Dara Hotel OldCity has to offer
Hagia Sophia
Arguably Istanbul’s most important landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this sacred masterpiece was constructed over 1,500 years ago. Especially atmospheric at sunset, the grand building is a wonderful example of Byzantine and Ottoman grandeur. The interior is no less impressive with detailed mosaics adorning soaring domes, ancient marble pillars and intricate, stain-glass windows. From the hotel, you can get here in just 10 minutes by foot.
Blue Mosque
Just a five-minute walk from the hotel, the Blue Mosque offers plenty of photo opportunities with a cascade of domes surrounded by six graceful minarets. Built in the early 17th Century as a reflection of Ottoman power, it boasts UNESCO World Heritage status and is a popular tourist attraction. Inside, the mosque is decorated with over 20,000 ceramic tiles and 200 stained glass windows.
Grand Bazaar
A cacophony of sights and sounds, Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar is one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world and sits just 10 minutes’ walk from the hotel. Featuring a labyrinth of 31 covered streets, the sprawling bazaar is the place to go for handmade jewellery, spices, ceramics and hammam soaps. Perfect for picking up some souvenirs for your envious friends back home!
