Hagia Sophia馨馨宝很忙Tickets will be about 50 yuan more expensive to book on Trip.com , but there are many people buying tickets on the spot, and there is a long queue. We can only give up the queue to buy tickets on the first day and choose to buy them from Trip.com . Here you need to pay attention to ⚠️ tickets on the same day have to be bought before five o'clock, otherwise you can only go the next day. We have plenty of time so it doesn't matter. Another precaution is that don't scan the code directly at the entrance to buy tickets, it's really expensive! When we went, we didn't know if it was the reason for the decoration. We could only go to the second-floor gallery. We went down after a turn.
The Blue Mosque馨馨宝很忙The Blue Mosque is facing the Hagia Sophia. The two buildings are very close. You can complete the visit on the same day. The park in the middle is beautiful. You can sit and be tired. It is super comfortable! The murals in the mosque are beautiful, but there are many people. You need to take off your shoes when you go in. Many tourists go in with their shoes. The taste is a bit big. This is an important factor affecting the visit. So it is recommended to bring a mask. The smell of feet is still recommended to wash it next to you before entering. Or don't carry your shoes when you go in, and no one will take them in the cupboard next to you.
Taksim Square法法国和福特Start of the pedestrian street We have to stay in Istanbul for two days, the first day is a group tour, the second day is a self-funded group or free travel. On the first day, we first came to Taksim Square. This square is a circular open space with some statues in the middle. But this square is also a relatively large square in Istanbul. There are a lot of pigeons in the square. Don't use others to feed, it is for money. Next to it is the pedestrian street, the square is the beginning of the pedestrian street. We arrived too early and many shops did not open. We came again the next day and went shopping. There are big shopping malls, small supermarkets, jewelry stores, Watsons, and various places to eat. The playability of the pedestrian street is still very strong.
Istiklal Avenue法法国和福特Istanbul Riverside Road previously said that the Grand Bazaar is the big alley of Istanbul, and the Independence Street is the Istanbul Riverside Road. On the first day, I came to Taksim Square with a group tour and left us only an hour to stroll around. Of course we didn't go shopping enough, so we all set the time here the next day. We took the bus from the hotel to this neighborhood (it is said that Istanbul taxis are expensive and blocked, because the blockage will be more expensive, so we chose to take the bus) We went to the rainbow ladder first, and then walked through a residential area to the nearby Carrefour. In the middle, I also went into a drug store. The boss was very talkative. He said that he had been to many places in China, and he had even been to Tianjin and Hohhot. It was a mistake to go to Carrefour first. I bought a lot of things, which caused us to carry these things behind us. After buying snacks and souvenirs, I came to Independence Street. This street may be the busiest pedestrian street in Istanbul. There were a lot of people on the day we went. It can be seen that not only foreign tourists came to visit, but also locals came to go shopping. There are large and small shopping malls, restaurants, jewelry stores, souvenir shops, clothing stores, and the types of shops are very, very complete. We went to Pandora, mado, St. Anthony Church, baked potatoes, regular restaurant barbecue, street stall barbecue shop, candy shop, many clothing stores, Watsons, two shopping malls... I don’t know if I didn’t say it all, I went shopping for a whole day, it was dark before I went back, I bought a bunch of things, Also ate local specialty barbecue. Although I arranged on this street for a whole day and didn't go to other places, the various eating, drinking and shopping on this street was really rich. Although I was a little tired, I had a good time. Free travel was much better than eating with the group.
BosphorusAAndrewngthe best of Istanbul definitely, you would find yourself a many spots which would catch your breath. invest in cruise for the best view
Galata TowerMMustafa112It is a nice historic landmark; you can go up the tower for a relatively cheap price. You can enjoy the beautiful view of the city. Additionally, you can enjoy the historical artefacts which are displayed in the tower itself.
Grand BazaarMMaryyngyng1The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is a must-visit destination, but it can be extremely crowded, and you need to be vigilant about pickpockets. While the atmosphere is vibrant, we personally found that many of the shops offer similar or repetitive items.
Basilica CisternAAir_ZhaoHappy travel, the right time. Fast tour, everything is the best arrangement. Come here, choose him, no problem. The time is just right, the world is just right. Good mountains, good water, good scenery, sometimes riding the wind and waves.
Dolmabahçe Palace小小哇001The new palace is really big, walking legs hurt, the symbol of the Ottoman Empire, the last Sultan left from this place, stepped on a British warship to leave Turkey. The founding father of modern Turkey Kemal died here.
Topkapi Palace馨馨宝很忙The Topkapa Palace is very large and the scenery is beautiful. Going inside, you can see a seaside corridor, invincible sea view, and you can also take pictures of Galata, especially when there is sun, it will be very popular! However, the ticket is 1700 lira per person, more expensive than the new palace, if you can only go to one, you must recommend the new palace!
