The process is too complicated for the Topkapi Palace Museum: meeting at a café that’s not exactly close by, waiting for the group to assemble, etc. Admission tickets like those for Hagia Sophia would be preferable. Five rides on the transit pass aren’t enough. Ten rides would be more appropriate given the number of days and visits. Finally, regarding the Bosphorus cruise, it’s very convenient that you can change your time slot, but it would be helpful if this were indicated from the start

Discover more, spend less

The MegaPass brings core sightseeing and local travel into one digital product, so you can shape your itinerary without buying individual attraction and public transport tickets along the way. The Essential Pass focuses on key first-time visitor experiences, including Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, a Blue Mosque guided tour, and a Bosphorus sightseeing cruise. Explorer includes these essentials and adds Topkapi Palace entry with an audio guide for a broader look at the former Ottoman imperial residence.

Exploring Istanbul made easier with public transport

With the included public transportation card, you get 5 rides to cover key journeys around the city. You can tap into trams, buses, metros, or ferries to move between historic quarters, cruise piers, and shopping streets without buying separate tickets each time. A 24-hour hop-on hop-off bus tour and city, tram, and metro maps make it easier for you to join guided routes or improvise your own.

Seamless activation

Your digital attraction tickets and QR codes are sent to your email.

Check the entry instructions for every attraction before your visit. Some attractions use direct QR-code entry, while others may have a designated meeting point or timed entry window.

Use your included 5-ride public transport card for eligible journeys on Istanbul’s local transport network.

Validity: Your pass is valid for 365 days, allowing you to plan your included attractions flexibly rather than visiting them on consecutive days.

Note: Use each included attraction according to its individual entry conditions and verify opening hours before leaving, especially on public holidays.

What to bring

Footwear: Choose comfortable shoes as you will walk on uneven surfaces and cover longer distances.

Clothing: Wear modest clothing for mosque visits, and carry a scarf for Hagia Sophia or Blue Mosque if needed.

What’s not allowed

Photography: Avoid flash photography at most included attractions.

Baggage: Do not carry large bags or outside food into most attractions.

Dress code: Ensure shoulders and knees are covered when entering mosques.

Additional information
