Day 1
1. Topkapi Palace
We recommend starting your day exploring this impressive palace, which was the center of the Ottoman Empire and residence of the Sultan and his family from 1478 to 1856.
The palace opened as a museum in 1924, a year after the sultanate was abolished and the Republic of Turkey was founded.
Here, in addition to enjoying its architecture and mosaics, you can see exhibits of the empire's treasures, armor and weapons, the palace kitchens, among many other interesting sections.
You can also visit the Harem, an area where the sultan's family and he himself resided.

Do you want to explore Türkiye (Turkey) LIKE A LOCAL? Then you're in the correct place!
I'm a Mexican living in Istanbul for the past 8 years. Me and my husband who was born and raised in Istanbul and is a licensed tour guide in Turkiye we both love exploring the country and share everything through our social media and guides with our amazing audience.
What makes us way different is that you’ll never see us recommending ultra popular spots that have become “trendy” thanks to TikTok or Instagram because more likely they are just tourist traps and you’ll end up dissapointed either for the bad quality of the services, prices, etc, instead, we show you the city and country in a much more authentic way, from a LOCAL eye, in a way that surely you’ll remember forever.
In addition to that, we also give you our little secrets that most don’t know about, we go deeper into detail and that I, of course, have learnt throughout these years of living here and experiencing every corner of the city, and tricks that also my Istanbulite husband have thought me.
So, are you ready to explore the city in an authentic way? If so, our guides and itineraries are tailored exactly for that, and trust me, they’ll save you MONTHS and MONTHS of research and stress! Everything you need for an Istanbul trip is compiled here, It took me almost a year to put everything together for you, and my ebooks that became BEST SELLERS almost right away after launching them in February of 2022, now I share them here with the platform’s format, they have been very welcomed by my audience and have made a huge impact when planning their trips to Istanbul.
What are you waiting for? Our guides are just a click away!
