Blue Mosque
Constructed between 1609 and 1616, the striking Sultan Ahmed Mosque – or ‘Blue Mosque’ – is still a place of worship today. With no war victories to fund it, this opulent structure had to be paid for straight from the treasury – angering the Ottoman legal scholars of the time! Non-Muslim visitors are encouraged to visit, but should be respectful of the strict dress code.

There are many many well dressed VERY friendly and helpful men willing to show you around, avoid them, do not talk to them! They are all trying to sell you something. They can get aggressive if you engage them and the try to leave, best to avoid them and keep walking.

As a Lego enthusiast, my visit to the Blue Mosque in...
As a Lego enthusiast, my visit to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul was an experience filled with admiration and inspiration. The architectural grandeur and intricate design of the mosque immediately sparked ideas of how such a masterpiece could be recreated in Lego form.
The Blue Mosque, with its cascading domes and six slender minarets, presents a fascinating challenge from a Lego-building perspective. The symmetry and balance in its design, a hallmark of Islamic architecture, would require careful planning and a keen eye for detail to replicate using Lego bricks. The mosque's exterior, characterized by its harmonious proportions and majestic curves, would be an exciting and rewarding project to undertake, demanding the use of various shapes and sizes of Lego pieces.
Inside, the mosque's vast interior, dominated by the large central dome, is adorned with thousands of blue Iznik tiles. Capturing the essence of this intricate tile work in Lego would be a remarkable feat. The play of light through the 260 stained glass windows, which adds a dynamic element to the mosque's interior, could be imaginatively recreated using translucent Lego pieces to simulate the effect of light filtering through.
Moreover, the challenge of recreating the spiritual and serene ambiance of the mosque in a Lego model is intriguing. While Lego is often seen as a playful medium, it also offers immense potential for creating models that evoke a sense of reverence and peace, much like the atmosphere inside the Blue Mosque.
In essence, the Blue Mosque, as a subject for a Lego model, offers a rich blend of architectural complexity, historical depth, and artistic beauty. It stands as a testament to the creative possibilities that Lego offers to builders who are passionate about capturing the essence of the world's architectural wonders in brick form.

Sultanahmet is an overwhelmingly popular tourist destination, and a prime location for visitors to be wowed on a truly epic scale. Beyond the wonders of the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and more, this relatively small area of Istanbul somehow manages to retain an air of peace and calm. This is the first time I entered inside Blue Mosque. It was 28 July 2023, Friday, we went inside Blue mosque before Jummah Prayer. We performed Jummah prayer and felt very blessed.

A good guide is important. Beautiful place to find history, art, and if you let it, peace and calm, regardless of your beliefs. Dress appropriately and act respectfully. Wear socks so you're not bear footing it. One of the must-sees.

Great from the outside but inside access was CLOSED for x months for some reason. Surely some small part could be left for visitors to see a little of the inside? Most only ever get one chance to see such places.

The staff went out of their way to help you, they were professional, very polite and attentive. We received a free upgrade and the room had a king sized bed, plenty of storage space and the most magnificent view of the Blue Mosque. The hotel is located on a quiet street and in walking distance to the Basilica, Blue Mosque and Grand Bizarre.
Very nice hotel, the location is perfect if you want to visit the most attraction. Within walking range for grand bazaar, hagia sophia, blue mosque, topkapi palace and many more. The hotels staff is very friendly and kind, and they will help you with what you might need.
I got an early checkin, and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was clean, and the view of the blue mosque was nice. The location of the hotel is nice - it's a short walk to the blue mosque and Hagia Sophia, and the sea view is great and makes for a nice walk.
The location is perfect for an Istanbul first-timer like me. You can literally see the Hagia Sophia from the hotel. Walking to the square where both Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque are takes 1 minute. Breakfast was real good, great selection of food. My room was just fine: clean and not noisy.
Absolutely! Cheers Vintage Hostel offers an exceptional experience, blending cleanliness with a fantastic location. The staff members are incredibly welcoming and attentive, adding warmth to your stay. Situated conveniently beside the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, it's an ideal choice for travelers looking to immerse themselves in Istanbul's rich history and culture.
The hotel is very comfy, near Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, 10 minutes away. The staff is very friendly and usefull with and Information you need and we received a map of Istanbul. The room was clean, every day the towels were changed and the room was cleaned. We felt like home and we would like to come back some day. Istanbul is a great city.
It’s very in the center of Istanbul, near bazaar, Hagia Sophia, blue mosque and tram. The facilities of the hotel are very okay and clean with complimentary water. The highlight of our stay are the staff. Osman and Memet are very helpful and friendly especially Osman that lent his railway card for the metro and assist me in my e sim. He is amazing! He gave us tips and good deals for our tour package here. Highly recommend guys 👍🏽👍🏽
Amazing fuss free hotel in a prefect location. Made our trip to Istanbul very pleasurable. Loved their Spa. We stayed in it for very long especially their Hamam. Their attention to detail made us all so happy. They sent a cake unexpectedly to our room for my sons 13th birthday... they probably saw it on his passport - sweet gesture!
As a family of 4, 2 adults one 13 and one 19 year old we all rate it high!! Walk to the Blue Mosque and the markets was so easy. I asked for the balcony room.
The location had a variety of stores and is very close to places like Haiga Sophia and the Blue Mosque, the grand bazaar and much more. The apartment was clean and cozy, and the owner was very kind and honest and was helpful in lots of things. The hotel is worth more than we paid for, in the coziness and comfort.
The hotel is very good and within a very good location with short walking distance to all major attractions in Istanbul. The food is very good. They also a very nice terrace with great views of the Bosphorus and the Blue Mosque. Staff is very helpful with all requirements and extremely friendly.
