The mosques, bazaars, and Turkish baths of Istanbul could keep you happily occupied for your entire trip: an eyeful of breathtaking architecture here, a good-natured haggle over a carpet there. Kick your trip off at the awe-inspiring Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), which is visible from many points of the city. Stroll the Galata Bridge and stop by the Miniaturk Park to see its tiny artifacts. The Grand Bazaar has thousands of shops to browse, while the Egyptian Bazaar is a fragrant trove of spices and fruits.

This museum, located in Dolmabahce Palace, contains over 4000 items relating to Turkish naval history.
This place is huge so be prepared for a long but interesting walk throughout the Turkish naval history and heritage. Those interested in ottoman navy, naval uniforms, Ataturk & his love for sea and history of scuba diving equipment should check this place out.

Located on the far side of the Dolmabahce Palace. Separate entry of 20TL BUT worth the admission fee. The paintings are specular and I would say world class. Apparently the art was acquired by the sultans to decorate the palace. A pleasing surprise.

A part of Dolmabahce Palace was transformed into a painting museum a few years ago, and houses early 19th and 20th century paintings collected from the Ottoman palaces including Dolmabahce, Yildiz and Beylerbeyi Palaces since then. This museum is open daily, except Mondays for all lovers of arts and the Ottoman history.
