Sultanahmet is the best area for travellers who want to stay within walking distance of Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern and the Grand Bazaar. A private Istanbul Airport to Sultanahmet transfer is the most comfortable way to reach Old City hotels with luggage.
The district is compact, historic and ideal for first-time visitors. Narrow streets and hotel entrances can be confusing, so a pre-booked transfer helps you arrive directly at the correct door.
From Sultanahmet you can walk to Istanbul s most famous monuments, tram stops, traditional restaurants and museums.
