Not such a smooth entry, because I had no wifi /data so couldn't show my ticket.... very helpful women on the gate sorted it out. I'd also downloaded the audioguide which again didn't work for me until they helped .... But my oh my, it really was BREATHTAKING, totally awesome!!! (I found the audioguide a little distracting, so wanted to walk around without it, but once I'd reached the end of the circuit, it was hard to go against the flow and start again) Feb visit - still quite busy! An amazing place, incredible atmosphere, I'm in awe of the brick/tile vaulting. Medusa heads are superb. Modern art installations are a nice touch. Later, I watched videos from the film 'Inferno' - which incldes a copy of the cistern for their set!

Reservar o ingresso sem fila foi a melhor decisão. Chegamos e entramos rapidamente, evitando uma fila enorme do lado de fora. A Cisterna da Basílica superou totalmente minhas expectativas. O ambiente é quase cinematográfico: luzes refletindo na água, fileiras de colunas antigas e uma atmosfera misteriosa que faz você imaginar a história de quase 1.500 anos daquele lugar. As cabeças de Medusa são um detalhe fascinante e único. Foi, sem dúvida, uma das experiências mais memoráveis da minha viagem a Istambul. Recomendo muito para quem visita a cidade. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    La facilidad de sacar la entrada por la web, el ceso más rápido, el audio guía desde mi celular, para empezar. Las chicas que están en el ingreso son realmente maravillosas, son muy resolutivas Al ingresar la forma de iluminación de l cistern hace que se destaque la obra. El camino marcado por encima del agua, permite admirar toda la estructura, si bien había mucha gente, se podía mirar y detenerse libremente. Es una experiencia muy interesante para comprender también un poco de historia y detenerse arquitectura.

    It was a really amazing and educational tour with wonderful information about the usage of Basilica Cistern over the years. As a greek visitor it had an extra depth beacause many things from hour histroy were displayed there and believed by the people of 7 centuries ago. I definitely suggest the audio tour and everything to do with it.

From city views to mysterious underground chambers, this experience offers a perfect blend of history, architecture, and culture, enhanced by insightful multilingual audioguides.

    Getting started

    Begin your adventure by heading to the Galata Tower, where you’ll gain direct entry to one of the city's most recognisable symbols. Later, skip the queues and dive straight into the depths of the Basilica Cistern with your fast-track ticket. An included audio guide in multiple languages will help you uncover fascinating stories and little-known facts at both sites.

    What to expect

    Galata Tower

    An ancient watchtower turned modern-day viewpoint, Galata Tower rises above Istanbul’s skyline with its distinctive cylindrical silhouette. Once you ride the elevator to the top, prepare to be captivated by 360-degree vistas of the city.

    Features:

    • Observation deck: Panoramic views of landmarks like the Topkapı Palace, Hagia Sophia, Bosphorus Strait, Bosphorus Bridge, Suleymaniye Mosque, the Marmara Sea, and the city’s European and Asian sides await you at the top.

    • Historical exhibits: Learn about the origins of the Galata Tower, originally built in 1348 during the Genoese colonial period, and its many uses over the centuries as a watchtower, fire observation point, and even a prison.

    • Flexible duration: Enjoy unlimited time (until closing hour) at the top to take in the scenery and snap photos at your own pace.

    • Audioguide: A multilingual audio guide provides historical background, fun facts, and engaging stories about the tower and the cityscape below.
