popcornplusThe view of the old city of Istanbul is so spectacular it's almost laughable. The view of Istanbul from the Suleymaniye Mosque is particularly spectacular and highly recommended. You have to climb a little hill, but it's definitely a must-visit spot!!Istanbul434m from downtownFree entry

馨宝很忙The Blue Mosque is facing the Hagia Sophia. The two buildings are very close. You can complete the visit on the same day. The park in the middle is beautiful. You can sit and be tired. It is super comfortable! The murals in the mosque are beautiful, but there are many people. You need to take off your shoes when you go in. Many tourists go in with their shoes. The taste is a bit big. This is an important factor affecting the visit. So it is recommended to bring a mask. The smell of feet is still recommended to wash it next to you before entering. Or don't carry your shoes when you go in, and no one will take them in the cupboard next to you.Istanbul19m from downtownFree entry
3. Bosphorus

M25***87The sunset view of the Bosphorus is very beautiful. It is recommended to go to the Eminönü pier to take the turyol company cruise. Be sure to buy the sunset ticket 2 hours before sunset, then go to the nearby restaurants to enjoy the food and wait. The most basic pure tour is about 90 minutes, the boat fee is 150 lira (about 30), On board, there is no performance, no explanation, no food and drink, the boat is average. In fact, the most important thing is to take pictures and enjoy the sunset. There are many places of interest along the coast. You must not miss the Suleimaniyah Mosque and Dorma Bakhche Palace.Istanbul27.2km from downtownFree entry

cimberlynafziThe Grand Bazaar in Turkey is a vibrant and exciting destination that’s perfect for anyone looking to experience the rich culture and history of Istanbul. With over 4,000 shops, it’s one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world. As you wander through its maze-like alleys, you'll find everything from beautiful rugs and unique jewelry to spices, textiles, and Turkish delights. The lively atmosphere, combined with the colorful displays and the art of bargaining, makes it a truly unforIstanbul959m from downtownFree entry
5. Istiklal Avenue

携Cheng携ChengIstanbul Riverside Road previously said that the Grand Bazaar is the big alley of Istanbul, and the Independence Street is the Istanbul Riverside Road. On the first day, I came to Taksim Square with a group tour and left us only an hour to stroll around. Of course we didn't go shopping enough, so we all set the time here the next day. We took the bus from the hotel to this neighborhood (it is said that Istanbul taxis are expensive and blocked, because the blockage will be more expensive, so we chose to take the bus) We went to the rainbow ladder first, and then walked through a residential area to the nearby Carrefour. In the middle, I also went into a drug store. The boss was very talkative. He said that he had been to many places in China, and he had even been to Tianjin and Hohhot. It was a mistake to go to Carrefour first. I bought a lot of things, which caused us to carry these things behind us. After buying snacks and souvenirs, I came to Independence Street. This street may be the busiest pedestrian street in Istanbul. There were a lot of people on the day we went. It can be seen that not only foreign tourists came to visit, but also locals came to go shopping. There are large and small shopping malls, restaurants, jewelry stores, souvenir shops, clothing stores, and the types of shops are very, very complete. We went to Pandora, mado, St. Anthony Church, baked potatoes, regular restaurant barbecue, street stall barbecue shop, candy shop, many clothing stores, Watsons, two shopping malls... I don’t know if I didn’t say it all, I went shopping for a whole day, it was dark before I went back, I bought a bunch of things, Also ate local specialty barbecue. Although I arranged on this street for a whole day and didn't go to other places, the various eating, drinking and shopping on this street was really rich. Although I was a little tired, I had a good time. Free travel was much better than eating with the group.Istanbul3.2km from downtownFree entry
6. Taksim Square

based on 2.9k reviewsNo.10 of Best Things to Do in Istanbul携Cheng携ChengThe starting point of the pedestrian street
We will stay in Istanbul for two days. The first day is a group tour, and the second day is a self-funded group tour or a free tour.
The first stop on the first day was Taksim Square. This square is a circular open space with some statues in the middle. However, this square is also a relatively large square in Istanbul. There are many pigeons in the square. Don't use others to feed them, because it costs money.
Next to it is the pedestrian street, and the square is the beginning of the pedestrian street. We arrived too early and many shops were closed. We came again the next day and had a good look. There are large shopping malls, small supermarkets, jewelry stores, Watsons, and various places to eat. The pedestrian street is still very playable.Istanbul3.6km from downtownFree entry

sculptorThe Suleimannier Mosque is the Royal Mosque of the Ottoman Empire, commissioned by Suleiman the Great more than 400 years ago. Behind the mosque's worship wall is the tomb of Suleiman the Great and his wife. The Suleimaniyah Mosque is one of the most famous attractions in Istanbul, Turkey, from its third mountain location overlooking the city around the Golden Horn Bay.Istanbul1.6km from downtownFree entry

10. Rainbow Stairs
5.852 Reviews
based on 23 reviewsNo.15 of Best Things to Do in Istanbul携Cheng携ChengFree travel first stop Our group in Istanbul arranged for two days. The first day was to go to various attractions and the second day was free. Most of the people in the group followed the travel agency to a day trip at their own expense. The three of us chose to go out by ourselves. We took the bus from the hotel to the vicinity of Independence Street. The advantage of this bus is that there is a station name on the bus, which is consistent with Google Maps, and we are not worried about sitting at the station. The disadvantage is that we do not accept cash, we can only swipe the card, and we need to buy the bus card in advance and charge the money. I poured a car in the middle and came to this net red rainbow ladder. The background is not introduced, just to see Jinger. There is a gap with the imagination, located in a small alley, and some are not very tidy. The photos on the Internet are all filtered. But taking pictures is still possible. There are so many cats in Turkey, but they look a bit fierce.Istanbul3.6km from downtownFree entry
