Blue Mosque (skip the line service is not available for active mosques – there is a queue for the entrance); Built in the early 1600s for Sultan Ahmet I, Blue Mosque is truly a magnificent masterpiece of architecture with amazingly delicate proportions for a building of such massive scale.

About Istanbul

Istanbul sträcker sig över Europa och Asien vid Bosporen, med bysantinska och osmanska monument, livliga basarer och färjor mellan världsdelarna.

Den historiska halvön rymmer de största landmärkena. Hagia Sofia, Blå moskén och Hippodromen ligger mitt emot varandra i Sultanahmet, Basilikacisternen ligger under gatorna och Topkapipalatset breder ut sig på kullen ovanför Gyllene hornet. En kort promenad bort har Grand Bazaar och kryddbasaren handlat i århundraden, och Süleymaniyemoskén, byggd av den store osmanske arkitekten Sinan, kröner en av stadens sju kullar.

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