Hagia Sophia can be wonderfully kid‑friendly with the right rhythm.

Engagement Prompts

Count the windows around the dome.
Spot patterns and compare to mosaics.
Whisper stories of ships and empires.

Mini Games
- “Find the arches” (how many in one view?)
- “Light detective” (where does the halo come from?)

Benches outside; quick cafe stops around the square.

Tip: Keep snacks small to avoid sugar spikes; tea and water balance the pace.
