  3. A Visitor’s Perspective of the Hagia Sophia

    Another tourist watches for a moment before taking her own photo with her phone, inside the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. Non Muslims are restricted in where they can go now because it was turned back into a mosque again in 2020.

    This was on the morning after I spent the day in bed recovering from food poisoning, so I didn’t take a whole lot of photos and had to go back to bed afterwards as I was so tired from the walk. This page has a number of photos showing what it’s like. Definitely try to avoid the busy times. It’s thronged with visitors.

  6. Recently turned from a museum into a mosque, they don't allow tourists to visit the ground floor anymore. Still impressive to see this ancient piece of architecture.
