Istanbul Walking Tour in 4K - Guide To Best Places In Sultanahmet, Blue Mosque, Ayasofya, Hippodrome

This is our third visit to Istanbul. In this video hopefully I can show you why we keep going back.
Our hotel is in Sultanahmet, particularly the Cankutaran area, between the Sultanahmet Meydan and the Bosphorus. This area was originally where the Great Palace Of Constantinople was. In the thumbnail, you can see remains of the original walls of the palace to the right. This area is full of hotels, restaurants and gift shops with something for everyone and all budgets. The main reason we prefer to stay here is that it is only 5 minutes walk from the main attractions such as Sultanahmet Cami (Blue Mosque), Ayasofya (Hagya Sofia), The Hippodrome, Basilica Cisterns, Constantine's Column, etc. The Grand Bazaar is about 20 minutes walk or 5 minutes on the tram. The tram also takes you to Eminonu, the Galata Bridge and Galata Tower within minutes.
The weather is amazing at this time of year (July 2023) and the scenery is just so bright, colourful and uplifting. Its just beautiful with so much character. I hope I've managed to capture some of this in the video so you can experience it too.
This is my first recording using my new DJI Pocket 2 camera in 4K. Please let me know in the comments what you think. As I've said before, I'm still learning all this stuff as a hobby so any comments, suggestions or advice would be very welcome!

Happy and safe travels.

I used a DJI Osmo Pocket 2. I love how easy it is to use. But I'm still learning! Haha
