Somewhat off the beaten touristic path. But well worth visiting. It is the largest Mosque in Istanbul. Can be seen from the Gallata Bridge. Just follow the pigeons....they will lead you to the Mosque.

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.
The exterior isn't anything special, but the interior is absolutely stunning.
Entrance is free, but keep in mind that no shoes are allowed and also of the dress code (i.e., men must cover legs and shoulders; women must cover the same plus their head). Make sure you plan around prayer times, as the mosque is closed during these times.

This is a real gem and worth a visit. Make sure you take something to cover your head with and wear a long skirt/trousers. Lovely place with impressive architecture.
I wasn't expecting much as I had not heard of this mosque before. It was far better than the Hagia Sohpia and more interesting than the Blue Mosque. A definite must when you go to Istanbul.
It is the largest and the most beautiful of all Istanbul mosques. The entire building appears to be better preserved than the blue mosque. It is appears to be less crowded than the popular Blue Mosque. And I am glad to say, it is also less foot odor. Around 850 meter apart, it is within walking distance of the Grand...

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.
