A mid-range-budget 4-day guide to Istanbul. Covers Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and hidden local favourites. Great for cultural travellers.

Hagia Sophia
Last day — revisit Hagia Sophia for anything you missed, then head to the station.
Topkapi Palace
Start early to beat the crowds at Topkapi Palace. The morning light is magical here.
Grand Bazaar
Arrive at Grand Bazaar and check into the hotel. Evening walk to soak in the vibe.
Blue Mosque
Visit Blue Mosque and interact with locals. Their recommendations are gold.
