I think we expected too much from the Hagia Sophia. It wasn't that nice on the inside and the entrance fee was too high for this.
Cuando dices istanbul hay que decir seguidamente maravilla por que lo es visitenla que se quedaran pasmados de tanta belleza
In the grand bazaar, you can find many things. And out of this many things, 99% of the stuff are stuff that you will not use in your life. These are usually overpriced in the grand bazaar and you will need to have lots of patience to look around to compare prices and negotiate.
Top 10 historic attraction in the world to see.. Hagia Sophia is fantastic area close to the blue mosque and the Basilica cistern. Hagia Sophia is fascinating beautiful inside, once christian then moslem now a museum. You just cant visit Istanbul without visiting Hagia Sophia.
Hagia Sophia is one of the "must see" place in istanbul. It is full of history. I have been there several to take my freinds. whoevere I take they were very impressed. I go there with every occation. I highly recommend people to visit there.
Hagia Sophia is must see place. One of the best historical places I've ever seen. Holly ambiance in a beautiful environment and a great architecture.
Topkapi Palace is a just one of the highlights of amazing Istanbul. The Treasury is a must for anyone who has seen "Topkapi", but the real highlight is the palace itself; stunning rooms, magnificent architecture, and terrific views of the Bosphorus.
Lo mas lindo de istanbul fue las mezquita azul no me recuerdo muy bien cuando fue construida pero valio la pena centavo por centavo todo lo que pagamos al tour privado
Thank you very much for the Mystery Tours
The Grand bazaar is exactly what I imagined a Turkish market to be! Bustling with locals and tourists, haggling with shop keepers, great turkish housewares, Turkish delight etc. For those who are tired and need a rest and light bite there are small cafés, diners dotted between the shops. Take a big bag because you will not come away empty…
