A Guided Tour of Suleymaniye Mosque

We meet at the cafe just opposite the Suleymaniye Mosque, which stands in contrast against the modern buildings of Istanbul. This is Mimar Sinan’s Suleymaniye Mosque, built in classical Ottoman style, and it’s still evocative of the power and splendour of the past.

Enjoy a comprehensive two-hour guided tour of Suleymaniye Mosque and its complimentary buildings with a professional guide. Afterwards, enjoy breathtaking views over Istanbul from the courtyard and get tips and hints for a gentle stroll around the neighbourhood.

End the tour with a cup of Turkish tea and talk about Suleyman the Magnificent and the royal Ottoman family’s life in the 16th century.
