Hagia Sophia is probably one of the most special churches, not in Turkey, but in all around the world. It has a magnificient architecture, in which the dome constitutes the top notch. But apart from its architectural brilliance, there are a lot of mythical and religious stories about the place.
My second visit to the Topkapi Palace and I still haven't seen it all! So many beautiful things, each one with a piece of history of its own.
Enjoy!
I visited so many cities and never saw such a building.. its history, amazing view outside .. even before seeing amazing things inside. I FELL IN LOVE WITH HAGIA SOPHIA !
HagiaSophia is a must go when in Istanbul. It's an unique piece of engineering which has been witnessing history for over a 1500 years and is impressively preserved. You can't miss!
La verdad estaba muy nerviosa por lo del tour pero contratamos el tour privado y vimos casi todo istanbul fue todo muy emotivo
What is there left to say about the Hagia that hasn't been said before? It is a stunning building with an extraordinary history and should not be missed from your 'bucket list' of things to do/see. We are all fortunate that after the Moslem defeat of the Christians, that they decide not to destroy the building.

Grand Bazar consist of over 4000 stores(as noted), the area is jrpt very clean and public restrooms are providedin several location for one turkish lira, ( make sure to have one lira change ).
The Sultan Ahmet Cami leaves your eyes agagga! Go inside and see the amazing tiles. Look at the architecture. One wonders how it can be so beautiful.
