What People Are Saying About Istanbul

Hagia Sophia

"Yes. The architecture is magnificent, the design is wonderful, and it is worth seeing. The 1,500-year history, the huge dome, and the few Byzantine buildings in the world are represented, can be regarded as a monument to the great Byzantine Empire."

"The view of the old city of Istanbul is so spectacular it's almost laughable. The view of Istanbul from the Suleymaniye Mosque is particularly spectacular and highly recommended. You have to climb a little hill, but it's definitely a must-visit spot!!"
The Blue Mosque

馨宝很忙
"The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia face each other. The two buildings are very close and can be visited on the same day. The park in the middle is beautiful. You can sit there when you are tired. It is super comfortable! The murals and patterns in the mosque are beautiful, but there are many people. You need to take off your shoes before entering. Many tourists go in with their shoes in their hands. The smell is a bit strong🤦‍♂️, which is an important factor affecting the visit. Therefore, it is recommended to bring a mask. If you have strong foot odor, it is recommended to wash it next to you before entering, or don’t carry your shoes when you go in. No one will take them if you put them in the cabinet next to you."

Bosphorus

"The sunset view of the Bosphorus is very beautiful. It is recommended to go to Eminönü Pier to take a cruise of Turyol Company. You must buy the ticket for the sunset time 2 hours before sunset, and then go to the nearby restaurant to enjoy the food and wait. The most basic pure tour is about 90 minutes, the fare is 150 lira (about ¥30), you get on the boat by yourself, there is no performance, no explanation, no food and drinks, the boat is average. In fact, the most important thing is to take pictures and enjoy the sunset. There are many places of interest along the coast, and you must not miss the Suleymaniye Mosque and Dolmabahçe Palace."

Its intricate architecture, lush gardens, and priceless treasures create an immersive experience.A visit to Topkapi Palace is a must for anyone interested in history, art, and the splendor of the Ottoman Empire."

"One of the busiest bazaars 🤩🥳 Feels like museum looking at fancy ornaments, spices and clothes. You can see the authentic culture heritage here. Worth visiting to see all the richness of Turkish culture and design. Of course as anywhere in the world keep safe and cautious 💪💪💪"
Dolmabahçe Palace

"Had a good time visiting this gorgeous palace. Free audio tour guide with admission avail in various languages. We passed on this d/t the requirement to surrender our passports to take advantage of the audio guide. Worth visiting.The grounds and the garden are very pleasant. The palace is furnished and some of the room have very interesting crystal fixtures, probably from Bohemia. Most remarkable is the last room before the exit, the ceremonial function room. Quite unique and impressive, nice."

"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."

"The starting point of the pedestrian street We will stay in Istanbul for two days. The first day is a group tour, and the second day is a self-funded group tour or a free tour. The first stop on the first day was Taksim Square. This square is a circular open space with some statues in the middle. However, this square is also a relatively large square in Istanbul. There are many pigeons in the square. Don't use others to feed them, because it costs money. Next to it is the pedestrian street, and the square is the beginning of the pedestrian street. We arrived too early and many shops were closed. We came again the next day and had a good look. There are large shopping malls, small supermarkets, jewelry stores, Watsons, and various places to eat. The pedestrian street is still very playable."

"The Suleimannier Mosque is the Royal Mosque of the Ottoman Empire, commissioned by Suleiman the Great more than 400 years ago. Behind the mosque's worship wall is the tomb of Suleiman the Great and his wife. The Suleimaniyah Mosque is one of the most famous attractions in Istanbul, Turkey, from its third mountain location overlooking the city around the Golden Horn Bay."
