The Aya Sofia might be more famous, but the next-door Blue Mosque should not be missed for its inner and outer beauty.
In front of you, you see the entrance, and the slim minarets towering above the area. As soon as you go through the gate, your eyes are drawn to the roof, to the minarets, and to the sky above you. Dome upon dome take your eyes higher and higher, until you reach the main dome with its gold spire. From there, six minarets take your eyes to the heavens above. This is, by the way, the only mosque in Turkey with six minarets. Walking around the mosque takes you to the main entrance where you get a plastic bag for your shoes.
