    Fantastic
    Here too is the clarification. As of today February 2024 entry is free! Here too, a point of reference for the Islamic religion with a significant focus on tolerance. Unlike the nearby blue mosque (where we had to leave during prayer), here it is possible to witness the phases of Muslim prayer (obviously with a less touristy climate than the blue mosque), the very high vaults are surrounded by mosaics of angels and Christian paintings alongside Islamic symbols. The 4 dark verse medallions with golden writing bear the name of Allah, the prophet and two other sultans. The green carpet on which you walk (without shoes) is very soft and very clean. An obligatory stop during your stay in Istanbul.

    Great to see. Not worth the price.
    This building is truly magnificent. It is a testament to human engineering and ingenuity. When you are inside and see the detail, love and effort that went into building and maintaining this space it is truly incredible. That being said, there is an issue that needs to be addressed. It is a little expensive and I would recommend any women getting a scarf or head covering before going into the building because the headscarf you can buy is just a dusting bag. The idea of restoring this building into a mosque is not a good idea. Likewise it would be a bad idea to return this building into a cathedral where Orthodox Christians worship. If there is a push to return it to being a building where religiouns are practiced, make it a multi-faith building that respects the whole history, instead of omitting it's Byzantine origins.

    Another great landmark of this city
    Recently, an entrance fee (not cheap) began to be charged for entry to Hagia Sophia in search of raising funds for a restoration that is clearly necessary. This monumental building went through all kinds of historical events, it was a Christian church, a mosque, a museum, then a mosque. It survived earthquakes, fires and was even visited by Vikings. It is living history and its deterioration in many areas does not take away any of its charm or everything interesting that can be learned from what happened there. Nowadays, visitors who do not go there to pray are only allowed to visit the upper floor, although from its balconies and galleries you can appreciate its architecture very well.

    Iconic Byzantine sight
    This 1500 year old building is a very unique one and absolutely worth visiting. The new €25 entrance fee is a shame, which is why I deducted a point, but I do believe the mosque is worth the price. The upper gallery offers excellent views of the architecture

    Also called the Blue Mosque for the blue tiles on the walls
    Because of the flatter, more rounded dome, Hague Sophia was considered an architectural marvel when it was built. It is also unique in that it was consecrated as the Hagia Sophia (Church of Divine Wisdom) in 537, converted to a mosque in 1453, declared a museum in 1935, and reconverted into a working mosque in 2020. Luckily, while Hagia Sophia has been re-established as a mosque, it remains open for visitors outside of prayer time. But remember that, since it is a religious mosque, there are certain dress requirements and restrictions to enter. Check beforehand to see what you can or cannot wear (shoes are not allowed inside). You also generally have to stand in a long entry line that wraps around the outside of the building, although on the day we visited, it moved pretty fast. The interior is mainly an open expansive area but is very interesting. Try and go upstairs, although sometimes it is blocked off. A real treasure from the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. (PaM)

    A bit pricey but a stunning building
    Stunning historical building, one the worlds' great edifices. Note from now the price is 25 EURO to enter and access is to the top floor only, but you get a decent look still but it is limted. It is a little expensive and I tjhink this also kept crowds a bit lower too so I found the experience less intense than the Blue Mosque across the square, which is free, and was extremely crowded. A mixed feeling about it. Istanbul is a great city but it is no longer a budget destination.

    It's a beautiful mosque and a key tourist place in Istanbul
    It's this iconic mosque in Istanbul, a key tourist place of this city. The entry is free so no need to pay for it. THere are guides available which can make the experience worthwhile. Be aware that one should be in moderate clothing as it's a mosque and need to follow their dressing tradition. Women should cover their heads before entering here Recommended to visit earlier in the morning before 10am as it only gets crowded after that.

    Due stage.
    Absolutely worth visiting. Like many attractions in the city, it is located on Sultanahmet Square at the T1 tram stop of the same name. Bring a veil and wear socks without holes. I attach photos. Greetings.

    Sore wallet, sensory overload
    At €25 it’s a bit overpriced and I thought twice about visiting. As a tourist you only can access the second floor. This isn’t a bad thing, the views were pretty spectacular. Everything I was interested in seeing was second floor and above. There are signs with QR codes that are easily accessible. There’s a lot of history here and I am glad I went.

    Beautiful, but may not be worth the $
    The Hagia Sophia was beautiful and a fascinating historical site to see. And it was very much a must see when I went for free in November 2023. But I’m not sure I’d pay the new entrance fee (25 Euro) to go again.

  • Blue Mosque Hotels
    Built between 1609-1616, this impressive mosque has six minarets. Why is it called "Blue Mosque?" There are two stories: the first, more common one is that the interior is covered in Blue İznik tiles. The second is: many years ago, ancient sailors who sailed by the mosque on the Marmara Sea saw the blue colors of the sea reflected in the mosque.

  • Galata Tower Hotels
    Temporarily closed. This historic watchtower, also known as the Galata Kulesi Museum, can be found at the end of Istanbul’s Istiklal shopping street. Today, this museum has exhibition spaces where you can learn about the area's history and admire the iconic architecture of this stone tower. Head up to the observation deck, where you'll be treated to sweeping views of the city and the Bosphorus Strait. It gets busy during sunset though—you can skip the lines with an Istanbul Museum Pass. There are loads of shops and restaurants in the area too—you can explore the tower and the surrounding area on a guided tour of Istanbul.
