The Hagia Sophia is a masterpiece of architecture that retains the capacity to inspire awe countless centuries after its construction. Built as a Christian basilica on the orders of Byzantine Roman Emperor Justinian in the 6th Century, it was later converted into a mosque and is now a museum.

Topkapi Palace

The Topkapi Palace was home to generations of Ottoman sultans between 1465 and 1856. The evocative architecture and lush green courtyards give you the feeling that you are traveling back in time. The decorative Harem, where the sultans' many wives lived shut away from the outside world, is especially beautiful.

Bazaars

The Grand Bazaar's size is legendary. You could spend days wandering this huge covered market admiring the ceramics, sliver and other goods on offer. The nearby Spice Bazaar is a delight for the senses and a great place to stock up on saffron!

Taksim area at night

Visit the dynamic Taksim Square area one evening and wander down the buzzing shopping street Istiklal Avenue. Duck into a side-street to find cozy eateries serving delicious Turkish meze meals and some of the best bars in Istanbul.

Blue Mosque

Book Condor flights to Istanbul and marvel at the Blue Mosque, an iconic example of Islamic architecture. The building is equally stunning inside, where it is beautifully lit by thousands of candles.

Flight facts

You can book a cheap flight to Istanbul with Condor from a large choice of North American cities, including Seattle, Washington-Baltimore and Toronto. Flight times vary, but the trip from Seattle to Istanbul via Frankfurt takes a little over 16 hours.

Condor flights arrive at Ataturk International Airport. Taxis are the most convenient means to reach the center and should take around 30 minutes. However, traffic can extend the journey time considerably. Make sure you have the address of your accommodation written down and are carrying Turkish liras. Another option is the reliable Havaş shuttle bus service, which takes travelers to Taksim Square.
