BEFORE STARTING THE TOUR
- Some of the buildings by Mimar Sinan in stanbul are
quite easy to nd due to their prominent location. However,
some are hidden among modern buildings and are quite dif-
cult to nd. Therefore, obtaining the professional services of
a guide for these buildings can be useful.
- The routes have been formed according to the proimity
of the works of Mimar Sinan to each other. These buildings
are also located in the same region with other Byzantine and
Ottoman buildings of worldwide importance. Therefore, if
you also wish to visit these buildings you should split your tour
routes over a couple of days at least.
- Some buildings by Sinan, especially some of the tombs,
are only open to visitors by prior arrangement or on certain
days. n order to visit the buildings owned by private companies
you should obtain the owners’ permission. Visiting the
buildings under restoration is also subject to permission.
- Most of Sinan’s mosques are open for worship. Therefore,
during certain hours of the day you may not be able to obtain
access or take photographs, or there may be restrictions on
these activities.
