The Kaleici area , framed by Saraclar Caddesi, Talat Pasa Caddesi and the railway line was the original medieval town with its narrow streets laid out a linear grid plan.

Exploring at will is easy, but you could start by walking south along Maarif Caddesi, which takes you past some fine examples of ornate wooden houses and finishes at the ruins of Edirne’s Great Synagogue. Other notable specimens grace Cumhuriyet Caddesi, which crosses Maarif Caddesi north of the synagogue.
