Our compilation for a single day in İstanbul, not an official route.
Topkapı Sarayı and Ayasofya anchor it in the old quarter and stand a few hundred metres apart; Dolmabahçe Sarayı is on the Bosphorus shore to the north-east. Taken in that order the day runs one way rather than doubling back.
A day of this shape leaves out far more than it includes, and the province route for İstanbul and the Sultanahmet route in this guide both carry more of it.
