Different culturel structures - We visited all the historical monuments. Hagia Sophia had a very different atmosphere. There are many different cultural structures in Istanbul. That's why I think Istanbul is beautiful. There was the Blue Mosque opposite Hagia Sophia. It was truly an outstanding tour.

An interesting visit to the heart of Islam - A nice visit to a very nice mosque. We will admire the design and architecture. Of course you have to go with suitable clothes. Trousers for men and long skirts and veils for women.
