Discover the layers of Istanbul’s imperial past with a flexible heritage ticket that lets you experience the city’s most celebrated monuments at your own rhythm.

Step inside Hagia Sophia, a timeless symbol of Istanbul where Byzantine mosaics and Ottoman architecture coexist under one monumental dome. Continue underground to the Basilica Cistern, an atmospheric marvel supported by ancient columns and legendary Medusa heads, revealing the engineering genius of Constantinople.

Your ticket remains valid for three days from first use, allowing you to spread visits across multiple days without rushing. This makes it ideal for travelers who prefer a relaxed and immersive sightseeing experience.

For those who want to go deeper into Ottoman history, you can upgrade your pass to include Topkapi Palace. Once home to sultans and their courts, the palace offers insight into royal life, sacred relics, and breathtaking views over the Bosphorus.

This experience is designed for independent explorers seeking cultural depth, flexibility, and seamless access to Istanbul’s most meaningful landmarks.
