Hello everyone!

I'd like to visit the Blue Mosque soon, when is the best time to visit? Do you have any advice of what to do there? Is there any other tourist place near it so I can visit on the same day?

Thank you!!!

Hi dear!
I have two suggestions (away of the crowd + in the crowd):
Go early in the morning before it gets too crowed so that you manage to have a look around every beautiful corner of it. You might want to take pictures of some gorgeous spots, and it would be so much better when there's (almost) nobody around.
Go during prayer time, and pray there to experience that wonderful feeling of the crowd doing "takbeer" together or the majesty of their movements between "takbeers" as if they were just one body!
