What to expect

The moment you step into Hagia Sophia, it feels like you would walk into a completely different time. It’s not
something you just read about, you actually feel it. You look up and spot these detailed mosaics from the Byzantine days, and then just a few steps later, there will be these massive medallions from when it was turned into a mosque. The contrast is surreal, both beautiful and a bit overwhelming in the best way. 

It’s a quiet kind of grand, no need to rush. Just wander, take photos, and feel the weight of centuries around you. And since you are skipping the main entry line, you get more time inside, less time outside sweating in the sun.  

Know before you go

• Wear something modest (shoulders and knees covered).
• Prayer areas require shoes off.
• Avoid visiting during midday prayers for best access.
• Bring your own earphones if using the audio guide.
