Topkapi Palace has a lot of history. It is a symbol of the life style of the royals. It has some beautiful pieces of invaluable treasures. My daughter didn't want to get out. She was insisting on a stay inside the palace. A must visit place in Old Istanbul
Istanbul es lo mas hermoso es una ciudad mistica y fabulosa
The Topikapi Palace is the best tourist attraction in Istanbul and here is a few tips to help you enjoy it. This Palace is vast , allow yourself at least 2 to 3 hours here.
Since you visit the Hagia Sophia area, you should pay a visit at the Basilica Cistern. It is an impressive nearly 1500-year-old monument from the early Byzantine era. The most striking thing is the lighting, making it very atmospheric. A tip here… Don't try to photoshoot with a flash. You will only get a black background.
There are many paramount buildings in Istanbul and one of them is Sultanahmet Mosque. You should not miss it.
Hagia Sophia is a truly amazing place to visit. The fact that the structures have been preserved for such a long time is breath taking!!.
The annoying part is when people hassle you to buy books just before you enter the area.
The Grand Bazaar is like the “Cave of Ali Baba”, full of sparkles from the true jewelry, the fake jewelery, the copper objects, the light bulbs. The smells can not also be forgotten. It is unique and amazing.
The Topikapi Palace complex is huge and you can spend hours here if you are really interested in seeing museums. Allow yourself at least at least 2 to 3 hours here. It’s overwhelming.
Basilica Cistern is maybe the best place I went in Istanbul. The aura there is so powerful. The slow music they played is somewhat mysterious, and it was really a unique experience!
在GALATA桥上，看着来来往往的人车，想像这古老的城市经过几千年不同朝代，但桥下得MARMARA 海仍旧不变。下了桥后，我们搭上渡轮。游了博斯普鲁斯海峡。MARMARA 和博斯普鲁斯海的交汇处很壮观。
