Grand Covered Bazaar:A labyrinth of streets and passages housing more than 4,000 shops, each trade having its designated area. Explore goldsmiths' streets, carpet sellers, and various Turkish arts and crafts shops.

Blue Mosque:Built in the 17th century by the architect Mehmet, this mosque is known as the Blue Mosque due to its magnificent interior decoration featuring blue Iznik tiles. Note that visits are not possible on Fridays due to limited access during the Friday Prayer.

It houses an exquisite collection of precious gems, jewelry, sultans' thrones, robes, miniatures, and the Holy Mantle. (Please note that the Harem is not included in the program and access requires an additional entrance fee.)
