The Best Photo Shooting Angles in Istanbul, Türkiye
22/04/2019
After returning from a 10-day trip to Türkiye with Amazing Tour, hot travel blogger Ly Thanh Co has found a list of the most ideal locations to create extremely cool "virtual life" photos. In the article below, Ly Thanh Co will reveal to readers many interesting locations as well as guide you on how to take photos properly.
Traveling for me has 3 prerequisites: delicious food, culture and beautiful scenery. Istanbul is a city that has both of those things. Coming here for the 3rd time, I decided to go hunting for photos in this city, because I have experienced enough culture and cuisine in the previous trips. So this time I will explore the most beautiful photo spots in Istanbul.
Lamp Shops in the Grand Bazaar
It is no exaggeration to say that this is Co's favorite place in Istanbul. The meticulously crafted lamps, intricately carved with electric lights, make each stall shimmer indescribably, and just a quick glance is enough to tell that this is Turkey. The hardest thing about taking good photos here is that the shop owners prohibit photography, but they will soften when customers buy something in the shop. Co chose a shop with beautiful lights and impressive carpets to take pictures, because she also needed to buy some souvenirs, so it was a double win.
Rooftop of Lady Diana Hotel View of Hagia Sofia
Blue Mosque or Hagia Sofia are the most unique sights in Istanbul. But if you simply stand in front of the entrance of the mosque, you will be like hundreds of other photos. Having been to both of these great Turkish structures in the previous 2 trips, Co craved the feeling of hunting for a unique photo angle for herself. And that place is at Rooftop Diana Hotel, you just need to go upstairs to buy a drink from 7 lira to be able to see the whole view of Hagia Sofia or the beautiful Blue Mosque. A suggestion is that, due to the direction of light, Hagia Sofia will be more beautiful at sunset and Blue Mosque is most beautiful at dawn.
Bosporus is where you will sail between the two shores of Asia and Europe, this place will give you the most overwhelming view of the giant Istanbul. This place will also allow you to freely take strange angles looking from the sea to the mainland.
Gate of Dolmabahçe Palace
The most lavish palace of the Ottoman dynasty will be a great backdrop, but when you go inside, although it is as beautiful as the palaces in France, you will not have any pictures. Why? Inside the palace, they prohibit taking pictures. But that does not mean that you cannot have photos of a lifetime. The Royal Garden located next to the Bosporus Strait with its majestic gates will be an interesting choice for you to take pictures.
Colorful Balat Old Town & Unique Cafes
A strange place because Cơ did not think she would find a pace of life that was so different from the bustling Istanbul. The ancient town of Balat is gentle, with many cafes of many styles next to each other, the colorful and interesting street corners are enough to make us admire. Just a walk here is enough for you to have dozens of beautiful photos on Instagram.
Istanbul Museum of Modern Art
I have always loved contemporary art, and although I have not had the opportunity to visit it in person, I have found this museum to be worth a visit through researching images online. It will be a contrasting view to the ancient architecture in Istanbul.

After each trip, Ly Thanh Co always feels like he learns a lot of new knowledge, satisfies his curiosity about the world around him and that is also the source of creative inspiration for his current writing work.
