Sights of Istanbul
Dear forum users, I will be grateful for good advice on what and how to visit in Istanbul. We are going at the end of April for 5 days. Time is somewhat limited and therefore it is interesting to hear opinions on the most interesting places and sights.

The Galata Tower can be seen from almost any area of the Turkish capital. Topkapi Palace. Mosques. Dolmabahce Palace. Suleymaniye Mosque is a masterpiece of architect Sinan. Eyup Sultan Mosque.

Hai Sophia
Small Ai-Sophia (Church of Sergius and Bacchus)
Sultanahmet Mosque (aka Blue Mosque)
Basilica Cistern (Yerebatan)
Gulhane Park (tulips bloom at this time)
Topkapi Palace (make half a day for it)
New Mosque (Yeni-jami) near Eminenu
Suleymaniye Mosque
grand bazaar
Egyptian Bazaar (Spice Bazaar)
This is a plus or minus within the historical center (Sultanahmet).
More :
Walk to the Galata Tower with a lift
Istiklal Avenue
Dolmabahce Palace
Rumeli Hisari Fortress
Yedikule Fortress
Aquarium "Floria"
Eyup Mosque + Cafe Pierre Lotti
Yedikule Fortress
Walking along the Bosphorus is a must.
Buy a Lonely Planet or Dorling Kindersley guide to Istanbul. Or, in extreme cases, the Afisha guidebook, you can download it on the Internet.
With a guide, everything will fall into place, where to go and what to do, where to eat, etc.

I have a crush on an underground reservoir (cistern). A grand building. The funny thing is that the Turks, having captured Constantinople, forgot about its existence. It was accidentally rediscovered by Europeans not so long ago when they saw a Turk fishing through a hole in the floor. And he did not even think about what and how. I just fished through a hole in the floor.

if you have an iPhone (I don’t know if there is such a thing for other phones), download the Istanbul Guide application, etc. there are all the sights and mast si with addresses, opening hours, cost, etc. oh convenient. Google maps will help you calculate the best route from the hotel to the selected place, taking into account public transport.
by the presence of interesting places vda75 - everything is perfectly painted)

Be sure to visit the roof of the Istanbul Sapphire skyscraper.
It is better to buy a walk along the Bosphorus below, near the Bosphorus itself, it will be many times cheaper there than on Sultanahmet.
5 days will be just right for you to see enough of everything.

I understand that if there was an unknown direction, there is little information on the Internet, otherwise it’s just laziness. or a lack of intelligence, because it's so hard to write: "Sights of Istanbul, reviews" ...

The lack of intelligence is when you google information and come across answers like this:
"have you tried using google, tripadvisor, etc.?"
If a person asks, then he has a reason for it, and such answers will not help him solve the problem.

how does that not help? tripadvisor - I planned my travels on it (india, uganda, kenya, indonesia, turkey, georgia) - why not advice? this is just a typical bag with a bell around his neck and the guide can ask such questions.

If you have time and desire, you can read Orhan Pamuk's book "Istanbul. City of Memories" before the trip.
This is a work of art, but it gives you the opportunity to dive deeper into the atmosphere of Istanbul))).
You can download it online.

Dear TombArthur, this is a travel forum where I ask an adequate travel question and would like to receive an equally adequate answer. I did not do anything that would contradict the current legislation and forum rules! why so much arrogance? but this is a rhetorical question, you can not answer. I do what is convenient for me and, sorry for being rude, I'm not going to ask what you think about this. We are all here and communicate in order to quickly receive information and save each other's time. If my experience or knowledge can help people in some way, I will always share them with joy and pleasure. And I am ready to help even you despite your rudeness, if you need it. The question is over. All the best!

I will also add the Orange Guide Istanbul guide to help. For pre-planning excursions - a very cool thing. You can "split" your five days into hours.
Good luck !
