Things to do in Istanbul https://www.touristtube.com/Things-to-do-in-Istanbul
Basilica Cistern
The Basilica Cistern is one of the most magical places we have ever been to. If you
don’t know what a cistern is, it is a reservoir for storing water. This particular cistern is no ordinary cistern, as it was made in the 6th century during the Byzantine era. It is one of the most popular attractions in the city and it is easy to see why; there is nothing like it anywhere else in the world. Back in those days it is easy to see that practicality wasn’t really the main focus of things. Nowadays if a reservoir is built, it is very industrial looking. The Basilica Cistern, on the other hand, is full of things to marvel at. The columns are absolutely beautiful and feature great art. The reason they look so magical is that they have been affected by water and have a green sheen on them, like submerged items often do. The green shine gives them a mysterious otherworldly look. Don’t be worried though, the cistern is very well maintained and has been renovated often, so there are no safety issues. We wouldn’t recommend missing out on a visit here if you are in Istanbul.
Bosphorus Bridge
 The Bosphorus Bridge is one of the best modern sights in Istanbul. In a city filled with
so much historical beauty it is refreshing to see that the new things are beautiful as well. The bridge was always remarkable and was the 4th largest bridge of its kind when it was made. Nowadays the most outstanding aspect of the bridge isn’t its size, but rather its lighting. The whole bridge has a system of LED lights which are controlled by computers. These lights can change colors and show patterns.
Istanbul is already a beautiful city but the Bosphorus Bridge lighting up and changing colors is a sight to behold. What we liked to do was find a bench or spot which had a good view of the bridge, and just talk with our friends while eating snacks. The bridge looks like any other bridge in the day so we would recommend coming here in the night time, when the lighting is visible and active. It is also a great photo opportunity, as anyone who seen this bridge in the background of your photo is bound to ask you what that thing is. Videos work even better.
Eyup Sultan Mosque
The Eyup Sultan Mosque is one of the most important landmarks in the ancient city
of Istanbul. Located in the city’s Eyup district and within the vicinity of the Golden Horn, the monumental architecture of the mosque comprises of the spot where the close companion of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad, Abu Ayyub (‘Eyup’ in Turkish) al-Ansari is reported to have been buried. The mosque was built by the Ottoman Turks in the year 1453, five years after the great conquest of Constantinople which led to the capture of the city from the stronghold of the former Byzantine Empire. The mosque was built with two towering minarets, but was left in a damaging state due to the devastating effects of an earthquake.
