Hagia Sophia
In 537 AD, Hagia Sophia began life as a church, before becoming an Ottoman mosque in 1453. The largest cathedral in the world for almost a thousand years, this majestic building is considered one of the finest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. Today, you can explore its vast structure from the inside with a visit to the museum that’s now housed within the walls.

Sadly tourists can only go around the upper level.
Sadly tourists can only go around the upper level. Previously you could get in on the ground floor and experience the wonderful open space of the huge dome above you. It is still possible to see some of the dome and the structure is very interesting but a slight disappointment. However , it is an amazing old structure. Small number of mosaics still visible. Better and more extensive mosaics at the Kariye Camii if mosaics are of interest.Guest review bySnezanaAustralia - 10.0
This was the most incredible part of Istanbul.
This was the most incredible part of Istanbul. Again ensure proper attire or you have to pay for covering. The interplay of Christianity and the Muslim faith, and neither chose to desicrate the other. Just be aware that you will only be able to visit the upper section unless you're a practising muslim.Guest review byRolandSouth Africa - 4.0

Its a pity that such an UNESCO monument was turned into a Muslim Cami. And it is discrimination that all non Muslims cannot visit the whole area. As a Greek and orthodox I felt very sorry of the destructions of all the inside ( almost). This should be a museum open for all ,independent on their beliefs. Civilization is not looking into beliefs. Should be respected within centuries.Guest review byAnthiGreece - 10.0
Oh, what a delight.
Oh, what a delight. I’m an open minded Christian so I appreciate such a wonderful and special place is still in place. You have to admitted if it wasn’t the Muslims it (probably) shared the fate of Acropolis. Is a wonder it does not crumble during times. Really. I was not able to take two straight pictures in a row, such a marvel of architecture is it, patch after patch. Is not the Pantheon, is not Basilica di San Pietro, but is still there. I also have to appreciate they respect the history and prior faith and do not cover part of the old (Christinas) paintings.Guest review byOvidiuBTBRomania - 6.0

The history is stunning and the main room is beautiful as well as the mosaics. However, I was underwhelmed considering they now charge to go in and you cannot go on the main floor (a result of it being turned into a mosque). Also the carpet choice doesn't help with the overall site. I think the other mosques were better. Also, there are LONG queues to buy a ticket and then queues to go in. I would recommend going to the Hagia Sophia experience museum (across the Obelisk) and buy tickets there.Guest review byMaya - 4.0

Insanely long lines deterred us, although you can take great shot elsewhere. Whether you are a man or woman, you need to cover up. Ladies with shawl, long sleeves, and down to ankles. Men with pants and at least a t-shirt (no tank tops). Otherwise, no entry.Guest review byRichardCanada

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.8Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 246 reviewsThe hotel has a great location — the metro station, shops, and restaurants are all nearby. It’s also within walking distance of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, which is very convenient for sightseeing. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you might need, and the place is very clean. I especially liked the beautiful sink and shower in the bathroom — they look stylish and modern.Guest review byMarina UmaSpain
- From US$122.51 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.0Very good - What previous guests thought, 735 reviewsWe stayed at the hotel in September for four nights, two adults and a child. Our room was on the second floor. The room was nicely located, quite quiet. The staff at reception are really very friendly. There were a lot of shops nearby, but they were overpriced. 10 minutes walk to Hagia Sophia. But while you're walking, everyone will persistently invite you to their cafe. Overall, I wouldn't call the hotel comfortable, especially for a family, but it's fine for a couple of nights.Guest review byAleksandrRussia
- From US$105.01 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.0Good - What previous guests thought, 3 reviewsEverything was great. New apartment, new bed, fully equipped kitchen. Location is very close to transportation, Sultanahmet, Hagia Sophia Mosque, Gulhane Park, Topkapi Palace. The staff comes to the apartment immediately when you send a message. If there is any problem, I think it's a good place for families who want to stay for a long night, and the price is reasonable. I will come again. Anna VorontsovaGuest review byAnnaRussia
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.4Superb - What previous guests thought, 1,067 reviewsWe had a wonderful stay at Magnaura Palace Hotel! The location is unbeatable — just a short walk from Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapı Palace, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and cozy. The rooms are charming and comfortable; One of the highlights was the terrace view — watching over Istanbul’s historic skyline was magical. The staff was warm, attentive, and always ready to help with suggestions or arrangements.Guest review byPetrutRomania

The room was clean and the staff helpful and friendly. You don't need to walk far for shopping or eating either and the tram is just up the hill. We were very pleased with this hotel and would consider staying here again if we were to return to Istanbul.Guest review bySue HoneNew Zealand
- From US$183.76 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 377 reviewsPros: * Location is perfect - walkable to Taksim, Eminonu, Karaköy, Hagia Sophia. Easy to get to from the airport via a short walk from Haliç station. Halkbank is round the corner for fee free ATM withdrawals. The apartment/hotel is in sort of a industrial supplies district which was fine by me (but just an fyi) * All of the guys at reception are very helpful and polite * We got upgraded for our stay, our apartment was a good size for two, nice enough bathroom.Guest review byShane AngohUnited Kingdom

Engin was a very nice host and helped guide us about Istanbul, as it was our first time there. Good-sized room and clean bathroom. Everything you can expect for the trip. It's just 6 6-minute walk away from the Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia, and very close to public transport. Absolute worth it for the money.Guest review byAnsarUnited Kingdom

The hotel is in a perfect location just a short walk from major attractions like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Grand Bazaar, making it very convenient for sightseeing.

Blue Mosque & Hagia Sofia are both jaw droppingly stunning inside. Avoid the huge tour group queues & go straight to the top of the line, else you'll wait for hours. I was in (in both places), in 10 minutes without being pushy.Guest review byAnonymousLots of people everywhere and fantastic food.
Lots of people everywhere and fantastic food. Having the Turkish bath experience is not to be missed. Called a "Hamam", the recently renovated hamam between the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosk is second to none.Guest review byJamesUnited StatesGetting a museum card or looking for ticket kiosks (...
Getting a museum card or looking for ticket kiosks (especially in the enterance of Hagia Sofia and Topkapı Palace) will let you pass hundreds of people in line waiting to get a ticket.Guest review byAslıNetherlandsJust imagine the city lived for four imperials!

we gave in and got the 2 day hop on hop off big bus - as we kept getting lost. Everyone seems to go to the Hagia Sophia and the Topkapi Palace early but we found after lunch a lot quieter. if I - no when I go again I will definitely get a 3 day pass so no queuing. Must do a Bosphorus cruiseGuest review bySuAustralia
