This is the largest of several hundred ancient cisterns that lie beneath the city of Istanbul. I went to this place last year.

一休哥3
Topkapa Palace is one of Turkey's most famous palaces, with Beijing Palace, Paris Versailles, Moscow Kremlin and other known as the world's top ten palaces, located in the heart of Istanbul, just behind the Hagia Sophia. Like the Forbidden City, Topkapa Palace is also very large, and a young man has to spend most of the day if he wants to visit the entire palace in detail. There are palaces and buildings large and small in the palace, and there are many exhibits. The innermost palace can see the Istanbul Strait and the mountain view on the other side of the Strait. In addition to the big, the entire palace is surrounded by flowers and vegetation everywhere, which is very beautiful. Tickets 🎫 are 950 lira, which is more expensive, more expensive than the Forbidden City, but it is worth a visit. At the same time, the Palace also provides audio guides in multiple languages, and you can get them by showing your passport 🪪, which is very convenient.

We went to the Galata, built in 1348, and after queuing in, the elevator went directly to the 6th floor, and then walked 2 floors to the top floor. Overlooking Istabul, the blue sky and blue sea green trees and red roof are very beautiful. After watching, you can only walk down. Every floor has some to visit, although the visibility is not strong.

Dr. Dennis E. Ericson
It's the modern days Royal palace of the late Ottoman Empire and early Republic of Turkiye. Last kings of the Ottoman Empire. And caliph Abdulaziz and the founder of Turkiye Mustafa Kemal Atatürk have been there. The museum is a little bit expensive and it's forbidden to take pictures. The behaviour of security was not professional and friendly. Painting was so special even though there were George Washington's paintings. I definitely suggest you also visit the art gallery.

The old town of Istanbul is so spectacular that you can laugh, especially the city of Istanbul seen from the Suleimanie Mosque is a spectacular spot and highly recommended. It's a spot you should definitely go to! !!

The obelisk from Egypt is said to have not many in the world, but... how do I remember seeing it in many countries, maybe not from Egypt? The obelisk has text on all sides, and there are complicated pattern carvings on the base. And heavy, think of a symbol of rights that was a lot of trouble to carry in that era.

A maiden tower, more than 2,000 years old, is located on a small island at the southern entrance of the Bosphorus Strait, 200 meters from the Usquidar coast of Yazhou. The interior of the tower has been transformed into a cafe and restaurant with views of Istanbul on both sides of the Strait, and visitors can reach the tower several times a day.

Istanbul is not only his fashion side, but because of its city walls and a sense of historical vicissitudes, the city actually gave me many surprises. I like the attractions very much and I like his shopping environment.

Without introduction, it is difficult to combine the building with the bathroom word because it really doesn’t look like...the location is close to the Hagia Sophia, the Istanbul Archaeological Museum, it is quite conspicuous

The Cora Church is a magnificent Byzantine-era church located on the outskirts of Istanbul. It has beautiful murals and mosaic paintings, basically centuries old. Each painting is a biblical story, and if you have a Christian friend who reads the Bible, remember to invite him to join you, which will give you great guidance.
