Hippodrome

What To See At The Hippodrome? The Hippodrome itself is a large green open-air park and there are 3 important monuments in its central area to see:1. The Egyptian Obelisk – Built in the 16th century BC by the Pharaoh Tutmosis in Egypt. It was brought to Istanbul by boat in the 4th century AD.2. The Serpentine’s Column – Originally erected in the Temple of Delphi in Greece, but taken to Istanbul. Until the 17th century there were three bronze snake heads projecting from the column, but they have since been lost. One can be seen in the archaeological museum.3. The Column of Constantine – Although it is believed that this dates from the 10th century, evidence shows that it was built earlier than that. Until 1204, it was covered by bronze and silver. When the Crusaders came to the area, they pulled off the bronze and silver, melted them down and made coins out of them.

Grand Bazaar

One of the most famous shopping attractions for many visitors to Istanbul is the Grand Bazaar or Grand Covered Market, a maze of 4000 thousands of unique and unusual shops run for centuries in the same location, whose ownership has often been passed down from family to family and who have survived numerous fires and earthquakes at its old city central location. It is a showplace of vivid colors and makes for an interesting stroll to take in the ambience alone. For shopping lovers it’s a real delight – full of many interesting objects and old decorated trinkets, fabrics, rugs, jewellery, leather, tiles, copper, antiques and various souvenirs.
