“The palace is incredibly extensive. Each room had something different to see and learn about. The gardens are beautiful. Queues to the treasury were way too long so we had to miss that. Our guide had too many people with him and we nearly got left behind. He needs a better pole with a flag instead of his black umbrella. But he was very helpful and informative. We highly recommend this experience, just give yourself a full day to see everything and appreciate the splendor properly. You won't be disappointed.Read more”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 1,469 reviews · 1 day · from $41

Visit Hagia Sophia independently with a QR-code ticket, skip the ticket-purchase line, and use an English digital audio guide on your phone. You’ll enter through the tourist entrance near Topkapi Palace and see the upper galleries, mosaics, dome, and Islamic calligraphy. The ground-level prayer hall is not included.

“I cannot recommend this skip the line prepurchase ticket enough. I also highly recommend booking the first time slot (9:00AM) for the Hagia Sophia. If we hadn't pre-purchased these tickets on GYG, we would have waited at least an hour (probably longer) just to purchase tickets in the ticket line, and would have waited even longer after that to get through security and finally be admitted. If you are a first time visitor on a short trip to Istanbul and can't afford to lose hours waiting in lines, etc. you should definitely consider prepurchasing these tickets.”
