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.

Very old and full of history it has had many different lives & purposes over the centuries. Some of the paintings on the walls are still visible & tell a story. Did a guided tour and it was definitely worth it.

Queues, Queues and more queues. But worth it. Do not bother with the AR experience which costs an extra 1250 TL (£25) each. The entrance is roughly £25 to get in if you buy it at the ticket office, make sure you ask for the basic tour otherwise they include the AR experience as a default. Amazing mosaics and beautiful architecture.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The view from the rooftop and the balcony of my room were wonderful. The staff were exceptionally friendly, always ready to help and offer great advice. The location—right next to the Sultanate Hamam and Hagia Sophia—is perfect for exploring the historical heart of Istanbul (Constantinople). The breakfast was delicious, and the hosts showed genuine care and interest in their guests, making this cozy, homely hotel a truly welcoming place to stay.

We loved everything about Rast hotel! The location is unbeatable - it’s close to many of the major sites, there’s a tram stop just a few steps away and the subway is not too far either. Our triple room was spacious and clean and had a great little balcony with a view of Hagia Sophia. All the staff are really nice. The rooftop breakfast area was one of the reasons we booked this hotel and it did not disappoint us. The breakfast itself was lovely, too. We’d definitely stay at the Rast again!

With a location in the old city behind Hagia Sophia and directly across from the basilica cistern there can be no more central site in Istanbul. However, being in the historic centre prevents taxis reaching the front door. But they have a plan for that and the hotel staff meet you at the taxi and carry your bags the short way to the door. The rooms, whilst small, have all you need and are clean and well presented. The breakfast is exceptional and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

We 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.

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.
