Have you been to Istanbul before? If not, it is definitely overdue! With more than 15 million citizens and a long history going back thousands of years, Istanbul is a perfect fit especially for those who are interested in history and culture.
Dolmabahce Palace
One of the architectural highlights of Istanbul is the Dolmabahce Palace. Built in 1856 by the Ottomans, this palace fulfills every criteria of beauty. At the cost of more than 35,000 kg Gold, a huge complex with 285 rooms was built on the shore to the Bosporus.
Be advised that only 25,000 visitors are allowed per day. Coming in the morning will greatly improve your chances of getting in.
Hagia Sophia
Hagia Sophia is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture and an absolute must when you visit Istanbul. Built in 537 by the Romans, this structure served for almost a millennium as a Basilica and was quickly turned into a mosque after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople (Istanbul) in 1453.
You can quickly see how Christian and Islamic elements mix into a very unique appearance.
