Bicycle tour in the Historical Peninsula from Fatih Municipality

The Bicycle Cultural Tours organized by the Fatih Municipality offer both an educational and enjoyable journey for those who want to explore the historical peninsula of Istanbul by bicycle. The tours, which start in front of the Mimar Sinan Stadium in Fatih, continue to the city's important historical and cultural stops such as the Süleymaniye Mosque, Sultanahmet Square, Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar with the help of guides. In the event, which takes place with groups of approximately 50 people, participants listen to lesser-known stories of Istanbul from the guides while visiting these unique places.

Safety and comfort are at the forefront

In order to ensure the safety of the participants, the tour is accompanied by an ambulance, a motorized police team and a logistic support vehicle. Semi-electric bicycles provide comfort, especially in hilly areas, so that individuals of all ages can participate in this cultural journey.

Meeting with information at cultural stops

Thanks to the information provided by the guides, each historical place visited gains a deeper meaning in the minds of the participants. Architectural details from the Ottoman and Byzantine periods are seen in situ, and the tour ends with tea and simit, turning into a friendly conversation environment in Zeyrekhane.

A unique experience combining sports and culture

Organized by Fatih Municipality, the Bicycle Culture Tours continue to grow with an increasing number of participants every week. Attracting the attention of both local and foreign participants, this event combines sports and culture, bringing Istanbul's historical heritage to a wider audience.

Making a statement about the tours, Fatih Mayor M. Ergün Turan said, "In Fatih, one of the districts that best reflects Istanbul's historical identity, it is our priority to keep our cultural heritage alive and pass it on to future generations. Bicycle Culture Tours provide an opportunity to get to know our city closely by offering an experience that is both sporty and educational. We want to make our fellow citizens experience the historical spirit of Istanbul on site with such events."
