A 10 minute walk from the tramway but worth it. Fewer minarets than the Blue Mosque but inside the mosque itself, they are very similar

Spectacular (as are all of the major mosques of Istanbul). Making your approach from the Golden Horn allows for some spectacular photos.

A stunning setting with lovely views over Istanbul. Well worth a long haul up the hill. We missed the Cemetery which appeared to be locked which looked as if it had some intereting graves it was lunchtime so that may be the reason.

This Mosque is beautiful inside and out. The grounds are beautiful with large shade trees, grassy areas, a lovely cemetery with roses blooming. Many other mosques in Istanbul feel crowded into the city but this one stands on a hilltop overlooking the Bosporous and has quite a bit of open space surrounding it.

If you are going to the Spice Bazaar (which I recommend you do), then this mosque is a short walk away and well worth the trip. Beautiful surroundings as well.
