We had to wait about 30 minutes to get in, but it was well worth the wait inside. The area inside the mosque near the entrance is the most crowded, so I'd recommend walking towards the exit, where it thins out a bit, to take photos, etc. more

Visited the Blue Mosque one afternoon. This is a very nice place to visit. Very large, peaceful and calm. A great place to have prayer. more

As mosques go, this one is a beauty. Probably more so from the outside, which you can admire from pretty much anywhere in Sultanahmet. Inside is pretty too, but not as 'blue' as you might think; it is unfortunately filled with tourists at all times.

I went to Turkey and when I saw the blue mosque, aka Sultan Ahmet, I was very amazed.

I've never seen such a beautiful site in my life. Be sure to dine at one of the numerous restaurants nearby and see the sunset reflect on the mosque. Also, don't miss the numerous calls to worship that provide a very surreal and stunning backdrop to this historical area. more

In short, this mosque is amazing Subhanallah- For Muslims and Non-Muslims alike, it is an opportunity to see a wonder, and experience true perfection and architechtural excellence! more

Before entrance, like in other Mosqs, woman will have to cover their hair (and eventually mini-skirt ... ), which is the minimum respect. Unfortunatly, the day I entered this beautiful building, a lot of turist didn't respect it. I was quite choked, please, do respect this beautiful place. more

I thought that the exterior was absolutely beautiful. I was less impressed with the interior, but there are many who think it is beautiful as well. Since it doesn't cost anything to go inside, go in and decide for yourself. more
