Do I need to print my ticket?

No. Your mobile ticket is accepted at both sites. A screenshot is a good backup in case you have limited signal on the day.

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

No. Skip-the-line access lets you bypass the ticket purchase queues, but mandatory security screening applies at both Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace before entry.

Is there a dress code?

Yes, and it is strictly enforced. At Hagia Sophia, women must cover their arms, legs, and hair; men must cover their shoulders and knees. At Topkapi Palace, shoulders, backs, and knees must be covered. Entry will be refused if you do not comply, so it is worth planning your outfit in advance.

Can I visit in any order?

The ticket is structured to begin at Hagia Sophia. Both sites are within easy walking distance of each other in the Sultanahmet district.

Are children charged?

Children under 6 years old enter free of charge. Tickets are required for older children.

How do I access the audio guide for Topkapi Palace?

Download the YourMobileGuide app on your smartphone before you travel, as internet connectivity inside the palace is limited.
