Turkey is home to some of the most historically important and beautiful mosques in the world. For travelers interested in art, architecture, culture, or heritage, visiting a few mosques should be high on the things to do list during your Turkey travels.
Istanbul offers some of the most famous imperial mosques of the Ottoman era, but there are historic mosques across the country. Some of the best surviving examples of the earlier Seljuk era are snaffled away in more out-of-the-way locations and are well worth seeking out.
Mosques are open for non-Muslim visitors as long as you visit outside of prayer times. There is no entrance fee at mosques.
