Sultanahmet is known as the “old city” for good reason. When building the subway station in 2004, workers uncovered archaeological artifacts from about 8,000 years ago, making the city one of the oldest in the world. And because of this, the area is one of the most historic places in Turkey with many ancient ruins, mosques, tombs, and palaces. You’ll also find many of the country’s museums and monuments in Sultanahmet tucked in between the more modern eateries, shops, and pubs.
The architecture alone in this community makes it the perfect place for selfies and photos to share on your favorite social media sites. Because this is a tourist attraction, it does get crowded during certain times of the year so plan accordingly. However, with so much to see and do, you should not have any trouble getting in and out of the places you want to visit.
Surrounded by water on three sides, including the Golden Horn, which is a major waterway in Istanbul, there is always a beautiful sunset to be seen in the evening. When paired with the beauty of the old walls and monuments, this is probably the most attractive place in the country. And it does not hurt that they have a plethora of souvenir shops, restaurants, bars, and malls to entertain you. There are plenty of parks to enjoy here as well with lush greenery and vibrant flowers.
Fun Fact: The Sultanahmet Mosque (Blue Mosque) was named after Sultan Ahmet, who built a place of worship to vie with the Hagia Sophia.

Luggage Storage Near the Gulhane Park
On Kennedy Street, about five minutes from Sultanahmet, Gulhane Park has many things to enjoy. What used to be a hunting ground for the rich and royal is now a park full of tulips, roses, and other flowers. History is also important here with many memorials and buildings like the Column of the Goths, Royal Stables, and the Sublime Porte. The southern entrance boasts several museums, including the Museum of History, Science, & Technology, the Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar Literature Museum, and the Tombs Museum. Although separated from the Topkapi Palace Museum by a wall, you can still visit the museum and grounds where they have an elephant garden, fig garden, and several pavilions and kiosks. Eat at one of the concessionaires while enjoying the scenery of the Sea of Marmara and Bosporus Strait. Drop your luggage with Bounce before heading into the park because you cannot bring them to the museums.
Luggage Storage Near Panorama 1453 History Museum
Panorama 1453 History Museum is the first full panoramic museum in the world, built in 2009. It is one of the most popular attractions in the city. Just through the entrance, you will find the first section with displays along the way to the panoramic picture. The painting is a 360-degree illusionary artwork of the battlefield, which gives visitors the impression of being in the middle of the fight. There are even sound effects to add to the experience. Try a helicopter simulation that takes you on a tour of the country or the City of Istanbul. Be amazed by 3D illustrations as well as snow, rain, and wind to make you feel like you are really there. Be sure to leave your bags with one of our Bounce partners since they aren’t allowed here.

Located on Bayrampaşa just 23 minutes from Sultanahmet, Sea Life Center Aquarium has over 15,000 sea creatures. As the fifth largest aquarium in the world, you shouldn’t be surprised at the number of beautiful aquariums full of wonder. Don’t miss the 15 species of sharks in the shark tank like the bowmouth, guitar, hammerheads, and nurse sharks. There are many other tanks in the center to enjoy as well. The Ocean Tunnel is a must-see as you are surrounded by majestic creatures on all sides as well as from above. The Sea Bed exhibit has over a thousand species from tropicals to jellies. And if you like jellyfish, check out the Jellies exhibit with over a thousand jellies. The stingrays at Stingray Bay are pretty awesome to watch too.

This was so cool!!!! Great service, extremely easy to use, and totally affordable! I didn't know where I'd leave my luggage while we explored San Fran, so I easily Googled luggage storage and found this company. At first it was a little odd dropping my bag off at a chocolate store, but the lady at the register was able to immediately pull up my reservation without any problems and then she put a lock on my suitcase and gave me a card to get it back with. She pushed the bag to the back of their storage room and I came back about 6 hours later to pick it up. Great service, I will definitely be using this again when I travel!
