A historical place, a large palace territory, there is something to see, everything is organized, it is clear everywhere what is where. It is definitely worth visiting this place.
The topic is a test. Choose a straight day. The price is biting, but worth it. The pledge of the audio guide is either a passport or $ 100. Arrive at 9:00, then the crowds of tourists. And start with the harem. There are narrow corridors in it, otherwise you will jostle with the following crowd. And don't forget your headphones for the audio guide. It took us 4 hours at an active pace to get around everything. My legs don't walk anymore. And don't ignore the church of St. Irene. It has never been a mosque. And older than Aya Sofia herself.
