Istanbul WelcomeCard: Top 3 Attractions + Bosphorus Cruise + 3GB eSIM

Three Istanbul icons, one easy plan

Istanbul’s most visited historic landmarks are close enough to form the backbone of a well-planned sightseeing day, but booking each element separately can mean juggling multiple entry rules and tickets. This combo brings together Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and Basilica Cistern, covering three very different chapters of the city’s history: a former Byzantine church and Ottoman mosque, an imperial palace complex, and an underground water reservoir. You also get a 90-minute Bosphorus Cruise, which adds a different perspective of the city between Europe and Asia.

Stay connected as you explore

The included 3GB Turkish 4G eSIM helps you keep the practical parts of your day within reach. Set it up before arrival by scanning the QR code sent to your email, then use your phone for maps, ticket access, the audio guide app, and everyday travel planning without changing your physical SIM.
