[2024 Istanbul Stay] Travel Guide for Blue Mosque Apart (Updated Dec)

Good Time

Mosque was under going renovations, but still beautiful from the outside and the parts of the dome that were exposed. Upon arrival lots of people try to offer unofficial advice and help and pressure you to visit their shops afterwards but they are friendly and generally accept “no” as an answer. Head scarves and skirts given out free for single use entry for women which is a requirement but men can dress however. Shoes must be removed as in most mosques. Free entry and beautiful gardens. Doesn’t take long to walk through but a beautiful and historical place of worship. Non-Muslims and Christians were allowed to enter. #bluemosque #istanbul #turkey #mosque
