A beautiful place in the heart of the Fatih district, always crowded and noisy, a must-visit, is located between two mosques - Sultanahmet (Naked Mosque) and Ayasofiya (Former Orthodox Cathedral of St.Sofia). There is a huge fountain in the center, there are many benches to sit down, but there is not always a place, some are located right on the lawns. Beautiful lighting at night. There is a T1 tram stop nearby, many cafes and restaurants, a Basilica Cistern, a hammam, ice cream vendors, etc.shops with food and souvenirs. Gulhane Park is within walking distance. In one of the cafes, you can admire the dancing of dervishes daily (you can also watch it from the street). The photos here are extraordinary at any time of the day. Passage to both mosques is free, everyone can look in, subject to the dress code (those with inappropriate clothes are given shawls and skirts, you must take off your shoes), very often there are huge queues, but they move quickly.

I love Sultan Ahmet Square. I was on it in winter and summer, in rain and in sunny weather. This square is beautiful! Fountains, flower beds, everything is very well maintained. The architecture of antiquity fascinates and invites you to love Istanbul with all your heart

The area is large, lawns are mowed, palm trees are planted, fir trees, a lot of people, a lot of seagulls are all fed. The fountain is beautiful. The mosque itself looks majestic. You can take good photos.

A green place surrounded by sights, you can lie on the grass and admire the architecture of the buildings and relax while enjoying the goodies sold in the area. Be careful, they caught a tick, apparently they caught it on the grass.

The very center of Istanbul, just take a walk to admire the architecture. Clear. There is a police post nearby. Lots of benches. Flower beds. You can snack on corn for 30 lire, or buy a bagel for 25 lire, but it's a little dry.everything is three times more expensive in stores.

A cozy small square, where the Ay Sofia mosque is located, the entrance to which this year was 26 euros, next to the Feodosia cistern, the blue mosque. There are a lot of cute and cuddly cats. From this square you can go on any excursion, including a walk along the Bosphorus

The main square of the city. It is beautiful and there are many tourists. On one side of the fountain Ai Sofia on the other side Sultanahmet. I did not go to Aisofia again because of the price of 800 lira per person, but you can go to Sultanahmet.

A place whiter than saturated with the history of civilization is to be searched in the world. 500 meters away: Blue Dream, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern and hippodrome. The only drawback of the place is the huge crowds after 12 o'clock in the afternoon.
