Better than Hagia Sophia. Great frescos. Excellent free audio guide available too.
Troppo costosa per il poco tempo della vosita
such a great place, a must visit for sure. it's very well organised as well.
Ticket straightforward to use. The mosque is well worth seeing. There weren’t queues when we arrived so we could have just bought tickets on arrival (for the same price).
Worth to go, for women please bring a scarf to cover the head
Beautiful mosque. However, it is still inconvenient that even if you buy your ticket online well in advance, you have to wait until just before the visit to get your actual tickets.
activity was really amazing although Chora is not as popular as other places in Istanbul. btw, I can’t find a single reason for tickets to be sent via email on the day of the activity. They can be sent on the day you pay. It’s more convinient
No se pierdan está joya.
Amazing mosaics and paintings—it's well worth the trip here. In any other city, this building would certainly be the main attraction, so €20 for the upkeep of the building is quite reasonable.
