Salem S.July 23, 2017My top spot in Istanbul. Everything about this place is gorgeous. A very well-kept structure designed by Mimar Sinan with beautiful views of the city.
- Aakash BhardwajMay 13, 2014As you exit the mosque from the back, be sure to look for sultan cafe across the street. The view of the bosphorus and the mosque from the cafe is breathtaking. The cafe is a 2 minute walk from there.
EdaJanuary 8, 2018It is really great and so beautiful. But do not forget to wear thick and hot socks cause you get off your shoes and it’s a little bit cold in winter. Also eat at Ali Baba just besides👍

It is the largest mosque in the city, and one of the best-known sights of Istanbul. Suleymaniye Mosque is the second most important architectural example of Ottoman imperial architectural style..
