    We were extremely limited on time in Istanbul, but were determined to see Hagia Sophia. We had a flight to catch at 1:40 at IST.... we took the street train to Hagia Sophia, and had our tickets ready to go at 9am. The skip the line was worth every penny (I'm not even sure how much extra if any it was). We were able to walk right in, no wait. Come prepared and dressed appropriately- women in modest clothing (no tank tops, and you need a scarf) and men must wear pants. I got a kick out of my scarf actually matching the ceiling plaster patterns. The full walk through was very informative and the audio tour corresponded with the stops also numbered in the mosque. All in all, it took about an hour and I don't feel it was rushed or we were shortchanged on seeing anything in it. I do wish we had more time to see the museum close by though!

    Meeting point easy to find. Quick to receive tickets (once giving the reserve papers of the app) and go inside the palace.

    The topkaki palace complex is very beautiful, it takes half a day to see it all and well. The 'organization of the meeting point was not clear and difficult to understand, there should be clearer directions.
