Istanbul has been one of the most beautiful cities I have traveled to so far. Personally, I love their crafts and you see them everywhere. I had the chance to visit two of their most known mosques which are the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Hagia Sophia is now a museum but the Blue Mosque is still used as a mosque. All around the city you here the mosques calling to prayer throughout the day and it is a unique experience. Inside the mosques you see the most detailed designs predominant of Turkish art. Another eye catching thing is their beautiful Turkish mosaics. Another attraction is the Topkapi Castle. One of the castle's main attractions is to see the collection of the Ottoman. The exhibition has the Ottoman's clothes, armors, weapons and more which I absolutely loved. By last, if you are not picky with food and want to try something new to eat you can try the Ottoman food. The old traditional Ottoman cuisine restaurants are all throughout the city.
