Top tips for Sydney to Istanbul

Visit Suleymaniye Mosque

Swap the iconic sails of Sydney Opera House for the magnificent minarets of Süleymaniye Mosque. Located on the Third Hill of Istanbul, not only does the mosque boast breathtaking views across the Golden Horn and Bosphorus, the building itself is a sight to behold. The interior is a work of art: adorned with hand-painted İznik tiles, Mother of Pearl and gilded white marble.
