Pros
- First photo: Blue Mosque
- There are beautiful mosques that are free entry and don’t cost ~€40 such as the Blue Mosque, Suleymaniye Mosque and Ortakoy Mosque (my favourite by far!).
- See the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque from the outside, see the Sulemanye mosque from the inside (less popular and thus shorter or no lines) and enjoy the view from the Plateau where it is built.
- Blue mosque is free but a lot of the other historical sites are $30+ euro each person for tourist admission.
- Then you step inside the *Blue Mosque* and everything goes quiet.

The Blue Mosque felt the most accessible and balanced despite the number of visitors.
