    (Grand Imperial Mosque of Sultan Abdülmecid, 1855) If you travel to Ortaköy, a small fishing village just south of the Boğaziçi Köprüsü (Bosphorus Bridge) that spans the Bosphorus and walk past the shops and restaurants down to the water you will find a beautiful mosque at the waters edge.

    Kapalıçarşı (Grand Bazaar) was established by Mehmet II shortly after his conquest of Constantinople in 1453. The place is truly grand in scale, so beware, it's easy to get lost in there.
