The ticket it´s great! But there is a minus - At Dolmbache Palace we were asked to leave a deposit of €100 in cash, per person, to have the audioguide. As we were 5, it would be a deposit of €500 in cash! Ridiculous And we did not had the audioguide that is very necessary, as there is no information, anywhere in the palace and you cannot take pictures for you to remember the places and surch afterwords.

I thought the value was phenomenal. We were able to do all that the tickets included except the whirling dervish show. The etickets and skip the line worked very well. The only disappointment was the dinner show and cruise which was awful all around. The meal was mediocre, as expected. The show, what little we saw of it, was nothing special. The guests all crowded around the performers, so no one else could see. They did have a video of it but it was very grainy. If I had wanted to see a video of it I could have done so at home. And everyone was smoking despite the signs forbidding it. I got home and had to shower and was the clothes. If you want to see all the hihglights of Istanbul and are willing to cram lots of activites into a few day, this is definitely a great deal.

Did the Mega Pass with my girlfriend and wow, such a TIME SAVER. Skipped like 3 huge lines in one day. The digital pass was a bit glitchy first try but after that, smooth sailing. Loved the Bosphorus cruise (sunset was EPIC!). If you’re into history, Topkapi is a must, but bring water, it gets warm in the afternoon. Would totally do again.

    I liked the mosque very much but we could only visit the upper part because the lower part is reserved only for Muslim worshippers. This was not clear: I knew it was a mosque but I was not clear that it could not be visited.

    Did the full pass solo. Ended up making friends in the group and exploring together. Loved the stories the guide shared. My only regret—not starting earlier in the day!
  • Think of the Istanbul Mega Pass as your all-access key to the city — a handpicked bundle of the very best experiences, without the hassle of individual bookings, long queues, or last-minute logistics.

    Getting started

    You'll receive tickets for all selected attractions straight to your inbox — no printing required (unless you want to). Scan them directly from your phone and you’re good to go. You also get a 5-ride Istanbul transport card, a digital guidebook, and a handy metro map to help you get around like a local.

    Explore centuries of history

    With skip-the-line access, you’ll walk straight into some of Istanbul’s most iconic landmarks. Start your day with the Hagia Sophia and admire its golden mosaics. Next, explore the Basilica Cistern, the eerie underground marvel supported by marble columns. Then, it's on to Topkapi Palace, where sultans once ruled. Your pass gives you access to the Sacred Relics Room and Imperial Treasury, and if you’ve chosen the right tier, the richly decorated Harem too, often considered the crown jewel of the palace.

    Marvel at both sides of the city

    Take advantage of the hop-on-hop-off bus tour to explore at your own pace. Ride across continents over the Bosphorus Bridge, headphones in, breeze on your face. Join the Asian side walking tour and explore neighborhood markets, hidden mosques, and the quiet pulse of local life.

    See cultural touchpoints you'll never forget

    If you want to catch a break from sightseeing, head to a traditional Turkish hammam to soak away your worries. Steam, marble, and centuries-old rituals leave you both relaxed and wide-eyed.

    Later, take a seat at a Dervish ceremony, where spinning robes and haunting music create a meditative atmosphere. Go in the evening for a quieter, more intimate experience.

    Sail across the city

    No Istanbul visit is complete without a view from the water. Reserve the Bosphorus dinner cruise in advance, where you’ll dine under the stars as palaces and mosques drift past on both sides. Arrive early to claim a window seat; the view is worth it.

    The city's best | All-in-one Pass

    Whether you’re a history buff, a culture lover, or a first-time explorer, the Istanbul Mega Pass takes care of the details so you can focus on the experience. Choose 2 or 4 attractions, upgrade for more, or go all in with the Deluxe Pass.
