Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
O me, the atmosphere there in Hagia Sophia so special, sacred, fair… Right now, there are huge scaffolds standing in there on the left side, which is a bit of a pity for those who cannot come like twice a year..
The panorama’s are breathtaking! I was fortunate to have visited the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia Cathedral and the Topkapi Palace. All three are very different, but absolutely stunning in their beauty, history and architecture. It’s a must to see, as is Istanbul and Turkey.
You may think it's too crowded and it's such a long walk to go through the whole BAZAAR! true but it is a must visit attraction in Istanbul, very interesting, you see locals all around selling all kinds of clothing, souvenirs, fake brands, a huge selection of everything…
Skip your guidebook and contact this guide for a fabulous travel experience in Istanbul. We were in Istanbul as a stop on a cruise so were there for just a day. Taylan was our tour guide and she was excellent. Not only was he a great guide, but he was also really pleasant and engaging. I would highly recommend this company, and Taylan specifically.
Bosphorus strait was really beautiful and the historical places that are neat it like palaces and musium and mosques are really beatifull and fantastic. you can take bosphorus tour with boat to see it.
The Hagia Sophia architecture is very unique in both inside and outside. It survived many years of revolution in the past and offer a great deal of history.
Hagia Sophia is stunning and awesome. A must see for any visit to Istanbul. Chock full of history from Byzantine to Ottoman. I would imagine at its historical peak the interior and the domes were covered with mosaics as sumptuous as those in the Chora church (also a must visit!!), but most have been destroyed over time or covered up.
This was a long-held dream – to cruise up the Bosphorus with all the history and culture involoved. The trip was a wonderful…
The Hippodrome has incredible history, but in its current state, it is nothing more than a nice park. The obelisk and some columns are still there, but that is about it. I would recommend stopping by if you are already in the area to check out the Hagia Sophia Museum or the Blue Mosque.
Hagia Sophia is a must see – it's worth a trip in it's own right. From the outside it looks kind of scruffy, but then the Byzantine empire was never that bothered about exterior. But you can see how the building works from the outside. The interior drips with marble, The side aisles are huge.
