At Istanbul's mosques, there are of any size and bill and the whole city, in the hours of prayer is pervaded by the repeated invocation of the muezzin.
The largest and most famous mosque in Istanbul is the "Sultan Ahmet Camii" built between 1609 and 1616 and known as the Blue Mosque for the characteristic deep blue of the tiles inside. The
"Suleymaniye Camii" instead brings the name of Sultan Suleiman, known as "magnificent" and stands impressively on the hill in the central district of Beyazit. The place of worship is surrounded by a large square, almost entirely surrounded by walls, near which line up several buildings that were helpful to the community, such as hospices, hospitals and schools.
features are not only the mosques, museums and the charm of the Orient Express but also its markets that run throughout the city.
The grand bazaar of Istanbul is one of the oldest and largest covered markets of world, a veritable cave of treasures, such as Aladdin. It 'made of streets overflowing with stalls are sold carpets, bedding, textiles, leather manufactures, clothing, souvenirs, hookah, souvenirs, handmade pottery, etc..
Another market which is worth going to the Egyptian market in Istanbul, which is the spice market in Istanbul and the best place to buy tea, spices, dried fruits, nuts and seeds, and lokum (the typical turkish sweet)
Another thing to do is take a boat trip on the Bosphorus. During the walk you will admire interesting palaces, forts, traditional Ottoman houses made of wood, and the huge bridge over the Bosphorus principal and the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, both routes between the two continents, riding on this majestic city.
