We climbed up the stone steps and into the beautiful tiled
lobby. Large signs displayed the various
entrance packages available, and we opted for the balcony walk followed by the
virtual flyover. We climbed into the elevator and flew upstairs. We were
relieved to see that the crowds weren’t in abundance on the balcony and that
they were limiting numbers for safety reasons. We captured some excellent images
of both the blue mosque and the Hagia Sophia, and posed for excellent shots
with the city and the Bosporus in the backdrop. Then it was time for the virtual
tour. Instead of taking the exit elevator, we descended some very steep steps
to the basement. After a short wait we were admitted into a small room with
cinema seats that moved to the music. It was a very good bird’s eye view tour
with a spectacular firework display at the end.
