About this spot
The Blue mosque is one of the major tourist attractions in Istanbul. It attracts thousands of people and can be challenging to enter. There are often long queues to get inside but well worth it.
The mosque earned its nickname as the Blue Mosque because of the blue tiles that adorn the interior walls. The design of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque is the culmination of two centuries of both Ottoman and Byzantine architecture.
