Explore Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia
without the ticket queues

This product includes tickets to two of Istanbul's most iconic sights, Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia, together with a smartphone audio guide. Skip the ticket queues and explore freely at your own pace. No tour guide accompanies you.

Enter Topkapi Palace with your host

For the Topkapi Palace ticket, meet your host inside Chimney Bistro, the meeting point. Entry takes place at set times between 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and is not available on Tuesdays. Stay with your host, who will take you inside the palace.

Enter Hagia Sophia with the QR code sent by email

Your Hagia Sophia ticket and audio guide are emailed to you as a QR code one day before your visit. For same-day bookings, they are sent immediately. Hagia Sophia is open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and on Fridays only from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Listen to the history with a smartphone audio guide

Use the audio guide on your own smartphone. There is no need to carry a bulky guidebook or wait for a group tour, and you can stay as long as you like while listening to the rich history and architecture of both landmarks.

※ You skip the ticket queues, but nobody can skip the security check, which is mandatory for all visitors. Expect longer waiting times during religious holidays.
※ Restoration work is ongoing inside and outside Hagia Sophia.
