Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
Absolutely amazing art but it is all cramped together and they let in too many people. it is impossible to enjoy any of it, and take it all in, when you’re pushed through the whole thing with al the other tourists.
Istanbul visit is incomplete without the visit to Grand Bazar. The roof shows beautiful colourful Islamic art.
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 !
A visit to the Hagia Sophia museum was a great first site to visit in Istanbul – it laid the history of the city's history and the muslim influence – it also provided more information about the muslim culture. Beautiful museum. Lots of restoration work but still able to see majority.
My children and I had a great time thank you..
On previous trips to Istanbul we have walked pass the entrance to the Archaeological Museum simply because we thought there were more exciting ‘attractions’ to visit than an archaeological museum as a result this museum never made it onto our ‘must visit’ list, how wrong we were.
I was totally blown away by the treasures and the organization of the three buildings. I thought they were much better than the trudge through Topkapi Palace. You get to see and learn so much about this historic area and you will be shocked by all the cool Roman relics. Full statues of emperors and gods abound.
la isla de kusadasi es un lugar fenomenal me gusto muchismo el comercio y lo cerca que esta de efeso y la casa de la virgen maria
I went with my family to istanbul for a week and the whole week was very enjoyable to all of us.. It was a memorable tour..we were guided very correctly about every place….every tour was on its time and all the arrangements were very impressive…we are thank full for every thing..
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..
