1. 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.

2. The ancient Hippodrome was the center of Byzantine civic life, from political and theological controversies to chariot races and riots. Built in 203 by Emperor Septimus Severus, it is estimated that the arena could accommodate up to 100,000 spectator

4. This enormous palace was the Imperial residence of Ottoman sultans for almost 400 years. Although much of the palace is not accessible, the daily tours of the Harem are of great interest to tourists.

5. Tourists, hawkers, and locals come together at the Grand Bazaar to comb its labyrinthine passageways in search of a bargain – be it a pair of brand name jeans, a handcrafted silk rug, or a perfectly brewed cup of tea. Outside the vast bazaar, worn, narrow streets wind their way down from its lofty perch to the southern shore of the Golden Horn, where the evocatively aromatic Spice Bazaar beckons alongside the elegant New Mosque (opened in 1665). Nearby, the famed Galata Bridge offers pedestrian access to urban delights across the river in Istanbul’s more residential and contemporary neighborhoods, while the must-see sights of Sultanahmet are but a leisurely stroll away.

About Istanbul

Istanbul strækker sig over Europa og Asien ved Bosporus, med byzantinske og osmanniske monumenter, travle basarer og færger mellem kontinenterne.

Den historiske halvø rummer de største vartegn. Hagia Sophia, Den Blå Moské og Hippodromen vender mod hinanden i Sultanahmet, Basilikacisternen ligger under gaderne, og Topkapi-paladset breder sig over bakken over Det Gyldne Horn. En kort gåtur væk har Den Store Basar og Krydderibasaren handlet i århundreder, og Süleymaniye-moskeen, bygget af den store osmanniske arkitekt Sinan, kroner en af byens syv høje.

Top-ranked sights in Istanbul: Dolmabahce Palace (Dolmabahce Sarayi), Bosphorus, Bosphorus Bridge (Bogazici Koprusu).
