Skip The Lines With Istanbul Tourist Pass


 


The Istanbul Tourist Pass® grants access to over 100 attractions in Istanbul, including the world-famous Hagia Sophia Mosque, the opulent Topkapi Palace, the legendary Basilica Cistern, and many more. All of these museums and historical sites in Istanbul require you to enter ticket lines. You can even wait for more than one hour to enter some of these places, as they are overwhelmingly popular. However, with Istanbul Tourist Pass®, you get to skip wait lines! All you have to do is show your digital Pass®, and then you will be good to go! All of your tickets will be ready for you to hand, in your pocket. Moreover, since Istanbul Tourist Pass® is digital, the risk of spreading covid diminishes.


 


Apart from saving your time by skipping ticket lines, another best thing is that with the Pass®, you can save over 50% on your Istanbul tour! If you visited all of the attractions included in the Istanbul Tourist Pass®, the price will be 50 percent higher than the Pass® price. Here are some of the places that have the most crowded ticket lines:


 


Topkapi Palace


Topkapi Palace is huge, with an area of nearly 700,000 square meters. What do you see when visiting Topkapi Palace? When you visit Topkapi, you will see the palace, which is divided into two sections: the outer and inner palaces, as well as the Harem. For decades, rulers have used several different rooms in Topkapi for various purposes. Private quarters, pavilions, soldier's rooms, barracks, a large kitchen, a large library, loggias, offices, and jail rooms are all available. Take a look at the beautifully carved stone fountain in the outer square before going through the first section, known as the Imperial Gate. In the rococo style of 1728, it is a small rectangular tower with five smaller domes. The Sultan's chambers in Topkapi Palace are home to a series of imperial portraits. Both Ottoman sultans are depicted in the painted portraits.


 


Pera Museum


The Pera Museum is one of Istanbul's best art museums. Even the structure is a work of art! The museum is housed in Pera's vibrant and historic district, in the former Bristol Hotel. 


Orientalist Prints, Anatolian Weights and Scales, and Kütahya Tiles and Ceramics are the three permanent collections. These collections are yours to see if you go to Istanbul. 


There is still a lot to see and discover at the Pera Museum, which often collaborates with major national and foreign museums, collectors, and foundations to help emerging artists, bring major international artists in Turkey.


 


Sakip Sabanci Museum


The Sakip Sabanci Museum is one of Istanbul's most well-known art museums. It's in the lovely Emirgan neighborhood, with a stunning view of the Bosphorus. 


The Sakip Sabanci Museum houses a one-of-a-kind series of paintings depicting the evolution of Turkish art from the Ottoman period to the Turkish Republic. There are many lovely foreign productions, but these Turkish representations of modernization of Turkish art are a cultural gem.
