Edirne, the majestic second capital of the Ottoman Empire, is a treasure of Islamic architecture and Turkish history on the country's western border. Dominated by the silhouette of the Selimiye Mosque, the absolute masterpiece of architect Mimar Sinan, the city is a living museum. Its elegant stone bridges cross the Tunca and Meriç rivers, connecting a legacy of imperial mosques, caravanserais and bazaars with the vibrant culture of Turkish Thrace, famous for its cuisine and the ancient Kırkpınar oil wrestling festival.

Find the Perfect Perspective of Selimiye
Don't just see it up close. Zoom out and look for it from different points in the city, such as from the Üç Şerefeli Mosque or from the other bank of the river, to appreciate its dominance over the landscape.
Visit the Health Museum in detail
Don't limit yourself to a quick glance. The Bayezid II Complex and its museum are unique in the world and fascinatingly explain how mental illnesses were treated with music, water and aromas in the Ottoman Empire.
Visit Mosques with Respect
Remember to take off your shoes when entering. Women must cover their heads (you can bring your own scarf or use the ones provided at the entrance). Avoid visiting during prayer hours.
