The Cathedral of Saint Sophia, which has a history of nearly 1,500 years, is the main church of the Byzantine Empire, the largest church in the world at the time, and the only building in the world that was converted from a temple to a church, and from a church to a mosque and then a museum. It is located opposite the Blue Mosque. Until 1453, it was the main church of the Byzantine Empire and was later occupied by the Turks and converted into a mosque. This is a famous historical building in Turkey, built in 325 AD. After the war damage and a series of reconstructions and expansions formed the face of today's Cathedral of Saint Sophia. It represents a model of Byzantine culture, and the mosaic murals in the Cathedral can give you a sense of the history of the time and the beauty of Byzantine art. The Cathedral of Saint Sophia was built in 325 AD by Constantine the Great as the god of wisdom, and was damaged in war. In 537, Emperor Justinian rebuilt his own cultural and martial arts. It existed as a Christian church for 916 years and was converted into a mosque for 481 years. After 1935, it attracted thousands of visitors every year as a museum for the public. Figure 2 shows the mosaic of Constantine the Great, the Virgin Mary and Justinian I, which was created in the 10th century. In the footage, Constantine the Great (right) is offering Istanbul to the Virgin Mary, who holds her young Jesus, while Justin I (left) presents the Cathedral of Saint Sophia

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.

The sunset view of the Bosphorus is very beautiful. It is recommended to go to the Eminönü pier to take the turyol company cruise. Be sure to buy the sunset ticket 2 hours before sunset, then go to the nearby restaurants to enjoy the food and wait. The most basic pure tour is about 90 minutes, the boat fee is 150 lira (about 30), On board, there is no performance, no explanation, no food and drink, 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. You must not miss the Suleimaniyah Mosque and Dorma Bakhche Palace.

Amazing views and worth the money.Buying the museum pass or the maiden tower combo would work out better. The additional historical facts in the tower add to the substance. One of the best places to visit in Istanbul and definitely a photoshoot worthy place. We arrived at 8:35am on Sunday and there was no line, it was also so slightly overcast and it lightly rained a few hours earlier, so hence why no queues.The views from the top are absolutely nice, with the entire city of Istanbul love it.

Dolmabahçe Palace
M78***16
"The architecture of the Dorma Bachche Palace is different from the Topkapa Palace, which cleverly combines Western classicalism with the Baroque elements of the time, but retains the traditional charm of the Ottoman court in its interior layout. The palace's facade is magnificent, its exquisite wrought iron gates complement the stone carvings on both sides, creating a solemn atmosphere. The white exterior walls are decorated with gold lines, both elegant and luxurious. The palace’s multi-functional interior, including banquet halls and halls, all highlight the unique charm of the Ottoman Empire as an administrative hub and an important role on the international stage. Among them, the banquet hall is one of the most dazzling pearls in the palace, with a dome up to 28 meters high, hanging a chandelier weighing more than1.5 tons. The walls around the hall are decorated with precious marble, which can accommodate hundreds of people for a feast. The palace, the heart of the palace, is mainly used for important ceremonial events. The palace is decorated in luxury, with gold-encrusted ceilings, fine handmade tapestries and murals depicting historical moments reveal the majesty of the imperial home. The Dormabachche Palace is not only the last witness of the Ottoman Empire in order to resist the torrent of times and seek a new birth through modern reform, but also the spiritual symbol of the empire's persistent pursuit of the glory of the past in the stormy years. Two palaces, one engraved with the glorious imprint of the past, and the other writing the legend of reform and challenge, jointly painted the magnificent historical picture of the Ottoman Empire."
Istiklal Avenue
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."
Taksim Square
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."
Suleymaniye Mosque
sculptor
"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."
