Do I need to print my ticket, or is my phone enough?

Your mobile ticket is accepted at all four attractions — no printing needed.

Does skip-the-line mean I skip security as well?

No. At both Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern, skip-the-line access lets you bypass the ticket counter queue. You will still need to pass through standard security screening.

What should I wear to Hagia Sophia?

Hagia Sophia is an active mosque. Women must cover their arms, legs, and hair with a headscarf. Men must cover their shoulders and knees. Entry will be refused if dress requirements are not met.

Is there a time I cannot enter Galata Tower?

Yes — entrance to Galata Tower is not permitted between 18:15 and 19:15. Plan your visit outside this window.

How do I get the Basilica Cistern audio guide?

A download link is sent with your booking confirmation. Download the guide to your device before your visit, as connectivity inside the cistern can be limited.

Are children admitted free of charge?

Children under 3 years old are admitted free. Children must be accompanied by an adult and may be asked to show a valid passport or ID at the entrance for age verification.
