"The view of the old city of Istanbul is so spectacular it's almost laughable. The view of Istanbul from the Suleymaniye Mosque is particularly spectacular and highly recommended. You have to climb a little hill, but it's definitely a must-visit spot!!"

"I saw online ticket purchase on the spot without queuing, and immediately placed an order on the trip. I received the QR code of the ticket in almost a minute, and then I can enter directly without queuing. If you need to queue up during the peak season, I don't think you need to enter. After all, this ticket is really expensive, and the viewing of the water palace is not so high."

"It is recommended to live in a hotel near the square! First of all, 5 minutes to Independence Street, and the point hotel next to the square is the airport bus stop, it is very convenient to play the airport! 40 minutes drive! There is also a subway in the square. You can take a subway station to transfer to the tram T1 line, which is the main station. It takes about 20 minutes to go to the old town. The location is very convenient. Rich nightlife"
