There is much to do in Istanbul. From the various street markets crowded with exotic scents, spices and treasures, to the amazing mosques and churches dating back to medieval times –Istanbul is a delight for vacation.
One of the most famous places in Istanbul is Hagia Sophia Museum, situated in the heart of the city. If you are visiting Istanbul, you must not miss this large ancient structure with its huge dome as it dominates the city of Istanbul. The Hagia Sophia Museum is one of the oldest buildings in the world and to enter this architectural wonder is something you will cherish. Everyone with an admiration for architecture must visit the Hagia Sophia at least once in their lifetime. The Hagia Sophia Museum is located in Turkey's Eminonu District.
