The Istanbul City Card

Visiting the city where east meets west? With the Istanbul City Card, you’ll be able to enjoy guided tours of three of the city’s top historic locations, along with 24 hours worth of sightseeing transport (which includes a cruise on the River Bosphorus), and an additional 10% discount on any other attractions in Istanbul that you wish to see during your visit.

Hagia Sophia

Visit the epitome of Byzantine architecture. Start the visit with a brief introduction from a trusted local guide, then begin exploring Istanbul’s most iconic building. Your ticket comes with a smartphone audio guide app (available in nine languages), so you can learn more about the space as you see important features inside, including the acclaimed floating domed roof.

Topkapı Palace

Wander through the primary residence of Ottoman sultans for more than 600 years. Inside, you can learn about the conquest of Constantinople, see the arms room, treasury, and more! From courtyards to imperial halls and royal chambers, the grandeur of the palace is sure to leave you dazzled.

The Basilica Cistern

Step below the city with a tour of the Basilica Cistern, which was built in 532 AD. You’ll feel transported to the past as you wander past illuminated columns and the sculpted Medusa heads at their base. Keep an eye out for Byazintine artworks, and if you’ve seen Inferno (the adaptation of the Dan Brown book, starring Tom Hanks) a few sights may even be familiar.

Hop-on Hop-off Bus Istanbul 24H + Bosphorus Cruise

There’s no better way to get the lay of the land than with the Hop-on Hop-Off bus. With plenty of stops around the city and two routes to take advantage of, you’ll have the chance to see every facet of Istanbul.

Learn more about culture and history with the prerecorded audio guide, and see the city from a different angle with the Bosphorus Cruise that comes included!
