Blue Mosque
Constructed between 1609 and 1616, the striking Sultan Ahmed Mosqueo—or "Blue Mosque"—is still a place of worship today. With no war victories to fund it, this expensive 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.

One of the most sought after architectural wonders.
One of the most sought after architectural wonders. It’s free. But dress appropriately. No bare shoulders, no bare knees and women need a scarf to cover their heads. Best to go prepared but you will also need given disposable covers at the entrance.

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...
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.

Lots of restuarants with great food in the area.
View from Hotel Restaurant is awesome, staff is friendly and ready to help.
Rooms are clean and very well equiped with everything you need.
Spa is a great plus for this hotel.
Haci Bayram Hotel was in the perfect location. Only one block from the Blue Mosque and easy access to all the main sites in the old town. Also, a quick walk to the tram. A great breakfast buffet with a view of the Blue Mosque from the terrace. It was very clean and comfortable. Best of all the staff was amazing. Absolutely would stay here again and highly recommend.
The location was very close to the metro trains some tourist spots like Blue Mosque and Hagri Sofia. There were a lot of places to eat around the area. Grand Bazaar is 3 trains stops away. Staff were very welcoming and the room was cozy.
We highly recommend staying in this hotel.
The hotel has an excellent location, right in the main part of the Old City of Istanbul, just a few minutes' walk to the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and downtown. It is a good choice for budget travelers or backpackers who want no frills and are not afraid of roughing it. The staff was friendly and the room was big enough for a whole group of people. We traveled as a group of two, but I think it would be a lot of fun to bring a bigger group, especially for young people.
Arden City Hotel is more like a boutique hotel. The location is perfect, just a couple of minutes from Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque… and Turkish bath historic place. You can walk another 10-15 minutes to the Grand Bazaar, Egyptian Bazaar and ferries port.
The staff is very friendly, supportive and always attentive.
The breakfast is in the terrace, with an excellent view the of the mosques, Bosphorus and the city in general… you can eat here everyday, breakfast are super!
The Hotel is a great value for being in a great location several minutes walk to the blue mosque and 15 minutes to downtown but slightly outside of the super busy areas. The staff are super nice, friendly and helpful and made our visit so much easier by arranging transportation to and from airports and advising on things to see and do in the area. Breakfast is really nice on the rooftop overlooking the sea.
The property is located near the popular attractions in Istanbul. Topkapi palace, Hagia Sophia, Blue mosque, and Basilica Cistern are just walking distance from the hotel. The owner/property manager is really nice, helpful, and very accomodating. The room I booked is pretty small, but it is clean and comfortable. I really cannot complain about it because it's cheap, you get your money's worth.
This hotel is near to all attractions. Ton of places to eat nearby. Tram is walking distance. Breakfast is delicious with variety of choices and restaurant has an awesome view of the Blue Mosque. Room is clean with daily housekeeping and supply. The staff is wonderful always ready to help out. Ismail is awesome, cannot thank him enough to help me through out the whole trip with places to visit, transportation and everything else. Irfan, Housekeeping, kitchen staff, you guys rock! Will definitely come back here next time I am in Istanbul.
Very near (5-min walk) to the key attractions of Istanbul; Blue Mosque, Ayasofia, etc.; the staff were extremely nice and helpful; there is a laundry service (200 Turkish lira per kg); the room I got was on top floor, with a lot of space and nice view; breakfast was also nice and simple. Also, next door is Massa Bistro, which is part of the establishment and as a hotel guest entitles you to 20% discount.
