2Blue Mosque

In a way, the stunning architecture of the Blue Mosque is the result of a challenge. Sultan Ahmed, I challenged himself to create a mosque that would be just as impressive than the Hagia Sophia. Ever since the 1600s, this place of worship has been one of the nation’s most impressive landmarks.

Complete with minarets (small towers), semi-domes, and domes, it’s one of the top tourist stops in all of Istanbul. Veteran visitors suggest arriving early to beat the lines. Additionally, the mosque remains “an active religious site,” so dress conservatively.
