Büyük Valide Han

Head to the rooftop, especially at sunset, to capture stunning panoramic views of Istanbul's iconic mosques.

In their own words: “My next spot is Büyük Valide Han. It is actually the largest caravanserai and it was built by Kösem, who is the mother of Sultan Murad... The reason I brought you here is not just the caravanserai but the view from its rooftop because you get to see one, two, three, four of the most beautiful mosques, especially at the sunset time, and this is one place you just absolutely cannot miss.”
