If visiting Istanbul, a visit to the Blue Mosque is essential. It is absolutely stunning. Despite being busy with tourists during my visit, it felt like a tranquil, peaceful place.
It is a working mosque so it is required to remove footwear and for women to cover their heads. Also, it meant that we waited in the courtyard for prayers to finish, a nice respite amidst the day's tourist grind.
