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.

The Dolmabahce Palace Mosque is a beautiful mosque, and a shining example of late Ottoman architecture. Being the mosque of the Dolmabahce Palace, and the mosque of the latter Sultans, it is an intimate and rather small mosque. It is a beautiful fusion of traditional ottoman architecture, combined with the style of western cathedrals or royal chapels. I highly recommend visiting here to say a prayer. Please be mindful that modest dress is required, and the mosque is a functioning place of worship for the local community.
