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..
Istanbul es la maravilla el puente me gusto muchisimo las mezquitas se ven de todas partes es magico
Basilica Cistern is incredible place in the middle of an ancient city, with lots of history. not enough signs to reed and understand that amazing place. definetly worth a visit!!
Topkapi Palace is a must see, go early and avoid the many bus tours. Walk straight to the Treasury and see this first as this is the most popular and then visit the other sites. Worth paying extra for the visit to the Topkapi palace harem.
Topkapi Palace was a nice place to look around and spend an afternoon. Certain parts were crowded (the treasury for example), taking away part of the enjoyment. My boyfriend and I are not really into visiting palaces, but nevertheless we found the grounds pleasant and enjoyed the views over the Bosphorus to the Asian side of Istanbul.
La ciudad mas linda ISTANBUL sin duda alguna
Enjoyed the Hagia Sophia much more than the Blue Mosque even though a large area was blocked by the huge scaffolding. The slowly uncovered mosaics and paintings under the plaster made this place a more interesting sight to see. You have to go up to the upper level to see these clearly.
Hagia Sophia must see while in Istanbul.
Istambul is an amazing city and Hagia Sophia is the hot spot of the visit.
Truly fantastic. Unfortunately today it is not a church anymore (neither a mosque) but a secularized museum.
Estudio historia y creo que istanbul es un lugar muy adecuado para esto los de la agencia me ayudaron muchisimo
