Blue Mosque, Istanbul (Turkey) - Travel Guide

Take a tour of Blue Mosque, Istanbul -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.

Hi, I am Naomi and I am very excited to show you the world's greatest attractions.

Six thin minarets reaching for the heavens mark the Blue Mosque.

The stunning landmark was built in the early 1600s.

With its cascading domes and the namesake blue interior tiles, it is a truly unique structure.

The religious and historical significance make it one of Turkey's greatest treasures.

The Blue Mosque has awe-inspiring courtyards and several entrances.

Inside, the high vaulted ceilings are adorned with a bright mosaic of tiles.

Besides a place of beauty, the Blue Mosque remains a place of worship.

It is perfectly located, commanding views of the city and Bosphorus River.

Night lighting make the Blue Mosque a place of magic and wonder at all times.

Thank you for watching our travel video series. See you next time.

It's a majestic place that I love to be there again'n again. It's background is also so inspiring, there is a total dominance of great historic buildings surrounding this surreal temple. Don't ever waste a second!
