I liked the blue mosque because it was active. Only mosque I’ve been to with prope

r Muslim stuff gorn orn an that. And worth it to hear all the tourists whining about covering their hair and removing their shoes. Oh and the t**tty Swedish couple insisting on having a snog in it. Twats.

As a spectacle I agree that it is nothing compared to the Hagia Sofia.
