What to expect

  1. Blue Mosque
    45m
    We step inside the mosque to see its bright blue tiles and peaceful courtyard. Children learn why people pray here and discover fun details like patterns, shapes, and calligraphy. It’s a gentle, quiet visit where they can explore a living place of worship.
  2. Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque
    20m
    We will see Hagia Sophia from the outside and explore its story in a way children can easily imagine. I explain how this giant building was created during one of the biggest storms in history, how it first served as a church, later became a mosque, and eventually a museum. Through simple stories and small observation tasks, kids notice its huge dome, strong walls, and the details that make it so special. This stop becomes a moment of wonder, helping them feel the history rather than just look at it.
  3. Hippodrome
    30m
    At the Hippodrome, children explore Istanbul’s ancient stadium where chariot races once excited the city. We discover the German Fountain, the Serpent Column, and the Obelisk of Theodosius through fun stories and interactive observations. This stop turns history into a playful adventure, helping kids imagine the games, heroes, and legends of the old city
