Some parts are under construction inside the building
a MUST visit
WOW.This is a history time capsule. I will not give you a history lesson here, there are plenty of great reads about his place. While there was a large section being worked on, the overall size was incredible. We had to wait about 20 minute in the ticket line, but using the ticket kiosk saved us 10 minutes of wait time. We had friends that went 1 day before us and they were somewhat unhappy because on the large tour groups that took over the place. It was busy but not crazy when wee were there. Use the ticket line as a judge of how crowed it might be inside. If it looks crowed, walk the 200 meters to the Blue mosque and come back later.. Worked for us. While there in construction going on, they have done a good job of leaving most of the area open for viewing and only working in a smaller area. This is a do not miss place.
Some reconstruction of interior being done- wait 3 years to hopefully let them finish it.
I could spend hours here and literally did. Take your time and wander around. If the line ups are huge spend the extra 30 tl per ticket and go through the fast track line.
Large and impressive; also a must see.
