Great historical site and best visited with a tour guide if you want to make the most of it inside. Ticket entrance to the first floor balconies only as ground floor is for prayers. Nevertheless great views from top..

Hagia Sophia is a majestic symbol of history and architectural splendor in Istanbul. Its monumental appearance is awe-inspiring with its colossal domes and exquisite stone work, testifying to the centuries-old history of this iconic site. The noble atmosphere and grandeur of the building capture the imagination, arousing the admiration of every visitor. This historical monument, which has changed its functions from a temple to a mosque and a museum, carries a wealth of cultural heritage. The view of Hagia Sophia, especially against the backdrop of sunset or night illumination, leaves an unforgettable impression and immerses you in the atmosphere of the grandeur of the historical heritage of Istanbul

Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque, another great mosque as a major cultural and historical site in Istanbul, Turkey. It used to be a church, then served as mosque before became a museum and now it became a mosque until today. It's listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site. Similar to blue mosque, try to go early in the morning to avoid crowd, as the crowd can be huge towards noon and evening. Nice building design, just opposite and walking distance from blue mosque. Worth the visit.

This is a very unique place with tons of history. You can read about it before or have an audio guide, but if you want to hire someone who can tell you everything about this place, make sure that it is not going to be a big group of people. We have seen some groups of 40-50 people and it's too much for that place. To get in you don't need a ticket, the line is to go through security and there is no fast pass. The best way to come in in the morning (9 a.m.) and do not go on Friday, because it's closed for tourists until 3.30 pm.

One of the best moments I had at Istanbul. The best mosque and built with very detailed architecture and maintained very well all long years. Must and should visit place in the city. I wish I could have stayed more time by seeing the architecture.

We got here at 8:45am to line up. We were the first 10 to get in easily. There are free audio tour to scan QR code per arts sight. The slide walk up is not that challenging, though no stairs and need about 3-5 min walk, it’s manageable. Exist has stairs. Take your time to walk up and enjoy the beautiful scene. Didn’t get to buy ticket in advance, highly recommend to go early! Less ppl.

Ayasofya mosque has the spirit of Islam. It's the most special art between all Istanbul mosques. The architecture and interior is definitely well thought. It guests hundreds of people around the world everyday. Inside many tourist guides give services for tourist groups in many languages. It's about history, religious history, importance and many topics and themes about this impressive mosque. Happy to gained this place to Islam again.

A heavenly experience in a mosque, which is long standing and reaches out to people's prayers and emotions. Some visit as a tourist and get amazed by the architecture, natural stone work, lighting, pillars, art and mosaic on the walls. It's a must visit in Istanbul visit.
