The flights

Turkish Airlines and British Airways fly direct from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to İstanbul Airport (IST).

What to see

Hagia Sophia dates from the reign of Justinian I, the Blue Mosque was built from 1609 to 1617, and Topkapı Palace was built for Sultan Mehmed II. Between them, browse the Grand Bazaar and take a ferry across the strait.
