A place that is filled with energy. You don't have to be a Muslim to feel this. By the way, there is a delicious restaurant nearby where you can try real Turkish apple tea and delicious baklava ☕️

One of my favorite places in Istanbul. Great views and atmosphere!
The Suleymaniye Mosque is the second largest and, until its opening in 2019, the first mosque in Istanbul. It is located in the old part of the city, in the Vefa district.
The mosque was built by order of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent by architect Sinan in 1550-1557. The dome is 53 meters high and 27.5 meters in diameter.
It's all very majestic.
Suleymaniye is a huge complex with schools (madrasas), a hammam, kitchens, a library, an observatory and the crypt of architect Sinan. The total area of the territory is about 70 thousand m2.
There is a cemetery in the courtyard of the mosque, and Suleiman himself is buried here in two neighboring mausoleums.

One of the many beautiful locations in Istanbul.
It is convenient to get here from any area.
We recommend walking across the white bridge (where the metro stops) and climbing the streets into the hill. Only 15-20 minutes.
The way back is either through the Grand Bazaar or the metro/tram in any direction.
Beautiful territory and beautiful architecture. And most importantly - a great view point!!!
A selfie stick is a must, especially for an overview photo of the city.
A large and clean toilet.
There is a lunch break. Closes early.

The Suleymaniye Mosque is a real pearl of Istanbul and one of the most impressive monuments of Ottoman architecture. The majestic building of the 16th century impresses with its scale: four minarets rush into the sky to a height of more than 70 meters, and a huge dome seems to float in the air.
The mosque's interior is stunning in its harmony and sophistication. The stained glass windows are especially impressive, through which soft light pours, creating an amazing play of colors on the walls and floor. Elegant calligraphy, geometric patterns and delicate painting - all the decorative elements are thought out to the smallest detail.
Suleymaniye is not just a mosque, but an entire architectural complex built in 1557 by order of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. Chief architect Sinan has created a real masterpiece here, where every detail is thought out to the smallest detail. The complex includes a hospital, a madrasa, a library and a hammam - a real city within a city!
The courtyard with a fountain for ablutions deserves special mention - an atmosphere of peace and tranquility reigns here.
Important tips:
- Come early in the morning to avoid the crowds of tourists
- Be sure to take a headscarf to cover the head (for women)
- Dress modestly, covering your knees and shoulders
- Don't forget to visit the tomb of Suleiman the Magnificent
The mosque is located on one of the seven hills of Istanbul, offering stunning views of the Bosphorus and the city. Make sure to reach the observation deck!

The Suleymaniye Mosque is one of the most peaceful and beautiful places in Istanbul. This is the second largest and, until 2019, the first mosque in the city, built by order of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century. There is a special atmosphere here.
The well-maintained courtyard of the mosque with a garden and terraces, which offer wonderful views of the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn, creates a feeling of peace and tranquility. There are mausoleums on the territory of the courtyard, where Sultan Suleiman himself and his wife Hurrem are buried.
Every time I come to Istanbul, I make sure to take the time to visit the Suleymaniye Mosque. Here I always find harmony and inspiration, immersing myself in the atmosphere of the greatness of the Ottoman Empire and its rulers.

Perhaps the best mosque in Istanbul that I have been able to visit. The mosque itself is beautiful, the courtyard is spacious, the view of the city and the bay is wonderful. I was very lucky, there were few people, I even managed to take a photo where there are no people at all - and this is something incredible for Istanbul)))

Beautiful! It's great! There is an interactive panel inside that you can view and read. We were a family, everyone liked it. The energy is great. The mosque is operational, but tourists are allowed in. It's a historic place after all... and the Grand Bazaar is nearby.…

If you are in Istanbul, be sure to visit the Suleymaniye Mosque. You can immerse yourself in the majestic Muslim culture.You will hear how beautifully namaz is sung. The inside of the mosque is very beautiful, the feet are buried in soft, red carpets. And you can also see various burials, including Suleiman and Khurem.

The iconic and most visited place in Istanbul. It is the second largest in Istanbul.
It is easy to get to it from Eminenyu. We also stopped at the Egyptian Bazaar on the way. Beautiful views and an overview of the entire bay of Istanbul. It is especially exciting when you realize that the building was created in the 16th century...

We came here only on our second visit to Istanbul and did not regret it. A beautiful courtyard and a view of the Golden Horn Bay and the city, the mosque itself, although smaller, for example, Sultanahmet, but somehow more cozy or something. Perhaps we were lucky that there were few people. Definitely worth a visit

Just whoooooo. The grandeur of the mosque is fascinating. When visiting the mosque itself, keep quiet and speak in a whisper. Because people are praying there and your noise can distract them. When we were praying, a mother and her daughter came to the prayer area for women and started talking loudly with her daughter, they came to take pictures. Do not forget to take a headscarf, you cannot enter mosques and tombs without a headdress.

It's a beautiful mosque, and there are many times fewer people than in the Blue Mosque.

Suleymaniye Place in Istanbul is one of the most famous and beautiful tourist spots in the city. It is located on a hill and has a magnificent view of the city.
One of the main attractions of Suleymaniye is the mosque of Suleiman the Magnificent, which was built in the XVI century. It is famous for its beauty and architecture, and is also an important religious place for Muslims.
Sulaimaniyah is also home to museums, libraries, schools, as well as many parks and gardens where you can enjoy the beauty of nature and get acquainted with the history and culture of Turkey.
I would recommend visiting the Suleymaniye place in Istanbul to anyone who is interested in the history and culture of Turkey, as well as loves beautiful architectural structures. This place is definitely worth a visit at least once in your life.
مسجد سليمان القانوني أو جامع السليمانية. مكان جميل للرحلات السياحية في المدينة. يقع هذا المكان على تلة ويتميز بإطلالة رائعة على المدينة.
واحدًا من أهم المعالم السياحية في السليمانية هو جامع السليمانية الذي تم بناؤه في القرن السادس عشر. ويشتهر هذا المسجد بجماله وهندسته المعمارية، كما يُعَدُّ مكانًا دينيًا هامًا للمسلمين.
ويضمُّ مكان السليمانية أيضًا متاحف ومكتبات ومدارس، بالإضافة إلى العديد من الحدائق والمنتزهات، حيث يُمكن الاستمتاع بجمال الطبيعة والتعرف على تاريخ وثقافة تركيا.
أنصح بزيارة مسجد السليمانية في اسطنبول.

It's a very atmospheric place. An interesting mosque, next to the mausoleum of Suleiman the Great and his family. The mosque is located on a hill, offering stunning views of the Bosphorus and the sights of Istanbul. The mausoleum closes at 18.00, so if you plan to visit, keep in mind. A must-visit. After that, you can go down to the Bosphorus through narrow authentic streets.

A huge plus is that the visit is free, unlike also Kariya, which is on the outskirts for 20 euros per person, if they write that this mosque is not inferior to Sofia, which has a queue of 500 people, then Istanbul mosques are about nothing, in Cairo they are much more beautiful and much more accessible.
