Your Ultimate Access to Istanbul

The Istanbul MegaPass: Skip-the-Line E-Tickets for Top Attractions serves as your complete key to experiencing the city. It bundles top experiences without the hassle of individual bookings, long waits in queues, or last-minute planning.

How to Get Started

  • You will receive tickets directly to your inbox with no need for printing (unless desired). Simply scan them from your phone and you’re ready. Included are a 5-ride Istanbul transport card, digital guidebook, and metro map.

Step Back in Time: Explore Centuries of History

The pass provides skip-the-line access to some of Istanbul’s most famous landmarks. Begin your day at the Hagia Sophia with its stunning golden mosaics. Then proceed to explore the Basilica Cistern, an underground marvel supported by marble columns. Continue on to Topkapi Palace where sultans once reigned; gain entry to both the Sacred Relics Room and Imperial Treasury. If you opt for a higher tier pass, enjoy access to the richly decorated Harem.

Discover Both Sides of Istanbul

Use the hop-on-hop-off bus tour on your own schedule. Cross continents over the Bosphorus Bridge with headphones on and feel the breeze as you travel between Europe and Asia. Explore neighborhood markets, hidden mosques, and experience local life during an Asian side walking tour.

Cultural Touchpoints to Remember

Take a break from sightseeing by visiting a traditional Turkish hammam for relaxation through steam, marble, and age-old rituals that leave you both refreshed and inspired. Later, join a Dervish ceremony featuring spinning robes and mesmerizing music in a meditative setting; evening ceremonies offer a quieter experience.

A Sailing Experience Across the City

An essential part of any Istanbul visit is enjoying views from the water. Book your Bosphorus dinner cruise ahead, where you'll dine under starlight as palaces and mosques drift by on both sides. Arrive early for a window seat to enjoy this stunning view.

Explore More with One Pass

The Istanbul MegaPass caters to history enthusiasts, culture lovers, or first-time visitors alike, handling the details so you can focus entirely on enjoying your experience. Choose from 2 or 4 attractions, upgrade for additional options, or opt for the Deluxe Pass.
