Skip the crowded tour buses and board a comfy, air-conditioned vehicle that will bring you to the first stop of the day, Arnavutkoy. Located on the shoreline of the Bosphorus Strait, Arnavutkoy is home to many historic buildings, Ottoman mansions, and quaint restaurants. The most famous of the buildings being the prestigious Robert College. Wander around the area and take in the buildings and architecture before heading to the next stop.
Up next is the Rumeli Fortress. This medieval fortress was commissioned by Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II in the mid-1400s as part of his campaign to capture Constantinople. It took more than 3,000 people to build this massive fortress in just four months! Today, the fortress is now an open-air museum that also hosts events such as concerts and festivals.
After marveling at the impressive Rumeli Fortress, you’ll head to the Ataturk Arboretum. This tranquil oasis in the northern part of the city is every nature lover’s dream. With serene lakes and almost 2,000 different kinds of flora from all over the world, it is a great place to stroll around and take in the nature around you.
The last stop of the day is at Belgrad Forest. This deciduous forest is known as one of the greenest places in the city. Spend the rest of the afternoon strolling around the forest grounds, taking in the beauty of nature, and having fun with friends and family.
We hope your tour was a memorable one and we would like to see you in the future in one of our tours again. Have a nice trip back home and thanks for choosing TravelShop Booking.
