Eminonu Square

Eminönü Square is one of the most historic and vibrant meeting points of Istanbul, where trade, transport, and daily life have come together for centuries. Guests will learn about the importance of this lively district and its role as the gateway between the old city and the Bosphorus. The experience continues with information about Spice Bazaar, one of the city’s most famous markets, known for spices, sweets, teas, and Ottoman trade history, followed by a visit to New Mosque, an iconic imperial mosque that has shaped the skyline of Eminönü for centuries. After exploring the area, guests will enjoy a traditional Turkish breakfast with a rich spread of local cheeses, olives, jams, fresh bread, eggs, tea, and seasonal specialities.
