    What to expect

    Starting at Mehmet Akif Ersoy Parkı, 34122 Fatih, Istanbul, open the app and enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message. You're in the heart of Sultanahmet, where Byzantine and Ottoman history overlap at every step. Your first landmark is the Blue Mosque — the Sultan Ahmed Mosque — whose six minarets and cascade of domes have defined the Istanbul skyline since 1616, and whose interior of 20,000 hand-painted Iznik tiles fully justifies the visit. Next, the app guides you to the Sultan Ahmed III Fountain, an exquisitely decorated 18th-century fountain just outside the Topkapı Palace gate, its carved canopies and calligraphic inscriptions a masterclass in Ottoman decorative art. The route concludes at the Arasta Bazaar, a covered arcade of craftspeople's shops dating to the 17th century, quieter than the Grand Bazaar and altogether more rewarding to explore. Around 2 hours on foot. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for the uneven cobblestones of Sultanahmet.
