going there you just expect the museum, when you see people praying it changes the way you perceive the place. worth seeing.

I had only one day in Istanbul so had to choose which attractions to visit carefully. Blue Mosque was truly magnificent in its design and decoration and is really something worth seeing. It is also great to visit as they provide you with robes and head coverings if you don't happen to have attire that cover your shoulders, knees and... More

The whole atmosphere there was very interesting and beautiful. The little ritual when you need to cover your head and legs with scarf makes it more real. Ofcourse it is very impressive from the architecural side as well. And on the plus side its free of cahrge
