Great service and above all very uncomplicated. Thanks to the skip the line, you are guided to the harem and can explore les from there with the audio guide on your cell phone. Really easy and with free time management once you are inside. The tour starts on time, so you should be there at least 10-15 minutes early. You also have to get the voucher, which you can get at the Topkapi Café.View original review in GermanGoudemand

It was such a smooth experience. The audio guides were really helpful, and it made looking around the majestic Hagia Sofia that much better to not have to worry about long lines etc.Sutto

You definitely skip the line to buy tickets but not the one to access the various activities, the audio guide not always working. Other than the entrance to Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia (only upper floor since the ground floor is reserved only for the faithful) and Basilica Cisterna I did not use anything else since even for the metro tickets no one was able to give me directions on how to use the service. I do not recommend it for those who have cash days vistocchè we had to reschedule the itinerary finding the Basilica Cisterna not accessible due to private event on the day we were to visit it and reschedule it the next day not allowing us to see other things of interest; also due to bad weather we could not reschedule the visit to Dolabahce palace thus losing the money for admission and obviously not even the Bosphorus cruise. I probably would not repurchase it with so little time to visit the city.View original review in Italian
Think of the Istanbul Mega Pass as your all-access key to the city — a handpicked bundle of the very best experiences, without the hassle of individual bookings, long queues, or last-minute logistics.
Getting started
You'll receive tickets for all selected attractions straight to your inbox — no printing required (unless you want to). Scan them directly from your phone and you’re good to go. You also get a 5-ride Istanbul transport card, a digital guidebook, and a handy metro map to help you get around like a local. Bonus: You can change your selected attractions or cancel the pass entirely up to a day before your start date.
Explore centuries of history
With skip-the-line access, you’ll walk straight into some of Istanbul’s most iconic landmarks. Start your day with the Hagia Sophia and admire its golden mosaics. Next, explore the Basilica Cistern, the eerie underground marvel supported by marble columns. Then, it's on to Topkapi Palace, where sultans once ruled. Your pass gives you access to the Sacred Relics Room and Imperial Treasury, and if you’ve chosen the right tier, the richly decorated Harem too, often considered the crown jewel of the palace.
Marvel at both sides of the city
Take advantage of the hop-on-hop-off bus tour to explore at your own pace. Ride across continents over the Bosphorus Bridge, headphones in, breeze on your face. Join the Asian side walking tour and explore neighborhood markets, hidden mosques, and the quiet pulse of local life.
See cultural touchpoints you'll never forget
If you want to catch a break from sightseeing, head to a traditional Turkish hammam to soak away your worries. Steam, marble, and centuries-old rituals leave you both relaxed and wide-eyed.
Later, take a seat at a Dervish ceremony, where spinning robes and haunting music create a meditative atmosphere. Go in the evening for a quieter, more intimate experience.
Sail across the city
No Istanbul visit is complete without a view from the water. Reserve the Bosphorus dinner cruise in advance, where you’ll dine under the stars as palaces and mosques drift past on both sides. Arrive early to claim a window seat; the view is worth it.
