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.
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.

First of all - thank you very much for your hospitality and kindness. We enjoyed stay in your hotel :)
One is placed in the heart of historical Istanbul. It is close to Blue Mosque, Haga Sophia and other must see landmarks in place.
thank you for all staffs in this remarkable hotel because the service is outstanding, and the breakfast is beyond expectations! especially to Mr. Musa, who gave me early check in and a birthday cake in the room! He explained everything to explore Istanbul.
This hotel is in front of Sultan Ahmet Tram Station and close to the main destination of Istanbul (Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Hippodrome etc.) and also restaurants. ATMs are in the same building,
Excellent!! The best hotel someone could choose for a short(or longer of course) stay in Istanbul! Amazing location(few steps away from the Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern). As for the room, we got a free update, that is a room with view(hayat) on Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, that was marvellous! Friendly staff, very good breakfast, very convenient transport service to the airport! Thank you very much! Best of the best! Teşekkür ederim!
Located in the heart of Istanbul's old city, the hotel boasts a fantastic position behind the Blue Mosque. Despite arriving early, they allowed us to check in ahead of schedule. Breakfast varied daily, ensuring we never grew tired of it.
HaciBayramHotel is perfect in every way, look no further. Its location is excellent, its staff friendly and accommodating. It has everything and more you need as a tourist in Istanbul. It has a rooftop terrace where you have breakfast, overlooking the Blue Mosque. You are just metres away from greatest attractions, you can walk everywhere, and feel safe. If you lack something - just ask and they will help you in any way they can. So nice, so great, we hope to return.
I liked the practicality and helpfulness of the hotel staff, which started immediately after booking. The breakfast was very varied and good. The location of the hotel is very good for the main attractions ( The Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace Museum, Gülhane Park, Grand Bazaar 10 min. walk...... )There are a lot of hotels in Istanbul, but this was our first choice and we don't regret it.
The only good points for this hotel is undeniably it's location ... You cannot do better in Istanbul. Very short walking distance from Aya Sofia, blue mosque and Topkapi.
And on tram L1, which is very convenient to go to other parts of Istanbul, notably Taksim.
But that's about it.
The hotel met all our expectations. Affordable price and the room was the same as in the photos. Hygiene was at the highest level. Friendly and helpful staff.
Location of the hotel is perfect for someone who is visiting Istanbul for the first time. It is within the walking distance of Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque...
Also, tram station is nearby and a supermarket is just across the street.. There are numerous restaurants and shops nearby.
If we come to Istanbul again, this hotel will definitely be our first choice.
The hotel and staff were wonderful, the rooms were very comfortable and clean. Then Turkish breakfast was delicious and a great start to the day! The location of this hotel is perfect, as you are located within 5 minute walk of the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sofia. I would highly recommend for a stay in Istanbul.
The hotel is a classic example of old Istanbul, which has been replaced by modern structures, it is handy for the tram system to get about and is not far to walk to the main attractions of Istanbul such as the blue mosque and roman cistern( need to get there early to avoid queues). there is a local shop at the bottom of the street. The breakfast is self service and the staff are very good and helpful.
