Frequently asked questions
When does the pass validity start?
Validity days begin on the calendar day you first use the pass at an attraction (airport transfers excluded). Days are counted as consecutive calendar days, not 24-hour periods, so plan your first use accordingly.
Do I need to make reservations in advance for attractions?
Most attractions grant immediate entry on arrival — just show your pass. However, some require advance reservations, which you can create and manage directly through the Istanbul E-Pass app.
Can I visit the same attraction more than once?
All attractions allow single entry only. The exception is the boat tour, which is valid for one full day or one complete loop.
Do children need a ticket?
Children under 5 should be checked individually with each attraction, as most do not charge a fee for that age group. All children must present a valid passport or ID at museum entrances for age verification.
Is there a printed ticket I need to collect?
No. The Istanbul E-Pass is entirely digital. Access it via the app or the website — nothing needs to be printed or collected.
Where can I see the full list of included attractions?
The complete and up-to-date list of eligible attractions is available at istanbulepass.com/istanbul-attractions.
