1. The most budgetary, as usual, is by public transport: metro + tram, Sultanahmet stop. But if with a suitcase, then I personally would rather go by taxi.
2. What exactly are the sights? The most expensive: Hagia Sophia, Topkapi - 40 lira, the rest is cheaper, mosques are generally free).

At the airport you need to change money and buy an Istanbul card. (for budget travel) Cash is much more expensive.
In the same place, through the Istanbul machine, the card needs to be replenished. the card itself costs about 4 - 6 dollars, I don't remember exactly. I generally asked for it from the departing foreigners, they still didn’t need it anymore.

The fare in transport is about $ 1 per person. If there are three of you, top up at least $7. The course is 1 dollar = 3.5 lire.
Next, you need to take the metro and get to the tram stop. No. 1 Transfer to it - it goes to the center directly to the Blue Mosque. drive 40 minutes.
In general, there is only 1 tram in Istanbul - it goes to all the sights. so it's a convenient mode of transportation. And with an Istanbul card, you can see everything yourself, and the port and 2 palaces and mosques. It can be replenished in many cafes and shops in the center.

Thanks a lot.
We will be light without luggage.
I didn’t figure it out with the tram right away. But it turns out to be the only one.
Is the istanbul card for all types of transport, and metro, tram and bus?

There will be four of us, which is very convenient. It will be possible to replenish only one card.

This year I was in Istanbul in April, I myself booked the Sultanahmet Best Western Citadel Hotel, the hotel gave me a free map with all the sights of Istanbul. Sultanahmet district - all the main attractions are nearby 10 minutes on foot, I didn’t like the Istanbul map, someone always helped me replenish it. To visit museums, buy a museum card at the box office of the Topkape Palace Museum for 85 lira - https://muze.gov.tr/tr/purchase?t=5 - free Topkape Palace, Hagia Sophia, Museum of Islamic Art and many more different museums, Blue Mosque and Sulemaniye Mosque and all other mosques entrance is free, for visiting mosques I took a light coat and a shawl with me so as not to wear their clothes that are given out at the entrance. The Grand Bazaar is also 20-25 minutes walk from the Blue Mosque. To the Basilica Cistern next to Hagia Sophia, entrance fee 20 lire.
