My top spot in Istanbul. Everything about this place is gorgeous. A very well-kept structure designed by Mimar Sinan with beautiful views of the city .

As you exit the mosque from the back, be sure to look for sultan cafe across the street. The view of the bosphorus and the mosque from the cafe is breathtaking. The cafe is a 2 minute walk from there.

It is really great and so beautiful. But do not forget to wear thick and hot socks cause you get off your shoes and it’s a little bit cold in winter. Also eat at Ali Baba just besides????

The 2nd popular mosque in Istanbul lies in a peaceful heritage quarter, close to the Grand Bazaar; star sights are the interior and tombs; the latter were closed on Sunday;

It's breathtakingly beautiful and somewhat mysterious for westerners. One of the must-visits. An amazing view from there on the city .

Was more impressed than by Blue mosque , mostly under reconstruction. Not much to admire in mosques though. Yet this has good view on Bosphorus and tombs of Suleiman the Magnificent and his wife Hurrem
