Hagia Sophia

In 537 AD, Hagia Sophia began life as a church, before becoming an Ottoman mosque in 1453. The largest cathedral in the world for almost a thousand years, this majestic building is considered one of the finest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. Today, you can explore its vast structure from the inside with a visit to the museum that’s now housed within the walls.

Not worth the money to go! Very dissapointing. Also they try to swindle you & upsell on the ticket price from €25 to €50, so you end up paying double for a less than mediocre experience. Avoid at all cost.

Very old and full of history it has had many different lives & purposes over the centuries. Some of the paintings on the walls are still visible & tell a story. Did a guided tour and it was definitely worth it.

Queues, Queues and more queues. But worth it. Do not bother with the AR experience which costs an extra 1250 TL (£25) each. The entrance is roughly £25 to get in if you buy it at the ticket office, make sure you ask for the basic tour otherwise they include the AR experience as a default. Amazing mosaics and beautiful architecture.

This greekorthodox monument, one of the greatest for the christianity worldwide, is questionably managed by the modern Turkish state, after it was recently converted to a mosque (since there are so many of them, I really wonder why) The entrance for the tourists is allowed only at the 2nd floor, missing that way, an amazing perspective of this exceptional temple, that you can have only from the ground floor. You simply get half the pleasure! At least, you can have a glance of the unique mosaics covered by white pieces of cloth, due to religious restrictions. Anyway, don't miss it!

Sadly tourists can only go around the upper level.

Sadly tourists can only go around the upper level. Previously you could get in on the ground floor and experience the wonderful open space of the huge dome above you. It is still possible to see some of the dome and the structure is very interesting but a slight disappointment. However , it is an amazing old structure. Small number of mosaics still visible. Better and more extensive mosaics at the Kariye Camii if mosaics are of interest.

This was the most incredible part of Istanbul.

This was the most incredible part of Istanbul. Again ensure proper attire or you have to pay for covering. The interplay of Christianity and the Muslim faith, and neither chose to desicrate the other. Just be aware that you will only be able to visit the upper section unless you're a practising muslim.

I loved everything about my stay here. The hotel is really conveniently located, close to the action around Galata Tower, and within easy walking distance of Taksim Square. It's also super close to the Tophane tram stop, from which you can get to Sultanahmet easily to visit Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Basilica Cistern. The staff were very pleasant and helpful - shout out to Metin on the front desk. The room was modern, clean, comfortable. The shower was great and the bed & pillows were fantastic.

We stayed 7 nights in this great apartment with amazing Galata Tower views. Comfortable accommodation, in fantastic location - walking distance to multiple restaurants, shops and local attractions. Apartment cosy, easily accessible (1st floor) with comfy bed and great bathroom / living room area. Glad we chose this location. Whilst a little hilly, enjoyed lots of walks across the bridge to Blue Mosque / Hagia Sophia / Sultanahmet district. Highly recommend.

We had a great stay at the Golden Horn Hotel in Istanbul. The location is excellent, just a short walk from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, which made sightseeing very convenient. The reception executive was extremely helpful and supportive throughout my stay. I had an early morning flight and the receptionist kindly packed a sandwich and a juice for me to take along, which was a thoughtful and much appreciated gesture.

Blue Mosque & Hagia Sofia are both jaw droppingly stunning inside. Avoid the huge tour group queues & go straight to the top of the line, else you'll wait for hours. I was in (in both places), in 10 minutes without being pushy.
