Pick this unbeatable combo for easy access to two of Istanbul’s top must-see attractions, saving you time and money.
Basilica Cistern
Begin your 30-minute journey into the mysterious world beneath Istanbul at the Basilica Cistern, also called Yerebatan Sarnıcı. Descend 52 steps into this ancient underground reservoir, where 336 marble columns stand in 12 perfectly arranged rows. Built by Emperor Justinian I in the 6th century to supply water to Constantinople, the cistern stretches across an area the size of two football fields. As you explore, spot the famous 'Hen’s Eye' column and hear the captivating myth of the Medusa heads from Greek legend. Fun fact: parts of the first James Bond movie, From Russia with Love, were filmed right here. With the included audio guide, you’ll get detailed explanations about each column’s significance, the story behind the Medusa heads, and the exact filming locations, enriching your self-paced exploration.
Topkapi Palace
With your skip-the-line tickets, avoid the crowds and head straight to the entrance of the magnificent Topkapi Palace. Once home to Ottoman sultans, this sprawling complex is now a museum showcasing imperial treasures and stories. Your guide will bring the palace’s vibrant history to life, sharing tales behind its 30,000 archived documents, the sacred relics it houses, and the sprawling imperial kitchens. Admire exquisite Chinese porcelain and step out onto the palace terraces for breathtaking views of the Golden Horn. The included audio guide lets you dive even deeper, offering detailed stories about the Ottoman relics, palace architecture, and daily life in the sultan’s court.
