Full description
Visiting Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace requires standing in 2 lines: one for the ticket, and one for the security check. With this combo ticket, you skip the ticket lines and enter the two most famous landmarks in Istanbul as fast as possible, giving you more time to spend inside these museums.
To use your voucher, meet your local host in front of Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. They are available at the time selected during the booking process at a very visible meeting point right next to the main entrance of each landmark. Your host will then take you through the skip the ticket line gate to enter the museums.
With this combo ticket, you can visit each museum one time. You can visit both museums in 1 day or you can visit each museum on different days. We recommend visiting the museums before 10 AM or after 2 PM because it will be less crowded inside.
Includes
- Skip the ticket line admission to the Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace
