City: Edirne

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.

Its beauty lies in the harmony of its architecture with the river landscape of the Thracian plain.

The image of the mosques and bridges over the rivers is very photogenic.Spectacular sunsets from the Meriç bridge.
The surrounding landscape is mostly flat and agricultural, without the spectacular nature of other Turkish regions.

An extremely safe city. Crime is a practically non-existent problem.

Very quiet and safe city at all hours.Low crime rates.

Transport

There is a network of minibuses ('dolmuş') and buses, but the historic center is so compact that it is best explored on foot.

Transport is cheap and connects the center with the bus station.The city is very flat, making it easy to walk.
It is not necessary for tourists staying in the center.

Tips for Adventure

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.

The Rhythm of Thrace

Life here is slower than in Istanbul. Enjoy the tranquility, sit down with tea and watch life go by.

Drinking water

It is recommended to drink bottled water, which is cheap and easy to find.

Safe City

Edirne is very safe. Walk calmly and enjoy its relaxed atmosphere.
