Think of the Istanbul Mega Pass as your all-access key to the city and a handpicked bundle of the very best experiences, without the hassle of individual bookings, long queues, or last-minute logistics.

Getting started

You'll receive tickets for all selected attractions straight to your inbox, no printing required (unless you want to). Scan them directly from your phone and you’re good to go. You also get a 5-ride Istanbul transport card, a digital guidebook, and a handy metro map to help you get around like a local.

Explore centuries of history

With skip-the-line access, you’ll walk straight into some of Istanbul’s most iconic landmarks. Start your day with the Hagia Sophia and admire its golden mosaics. Next, explore the Basilica Cistern, the eerie underground marvel supported by marble columns. Then, it's on to Topkapi Palace, where sultans once ruled. Your pass gives you access to the Sacred Relics Room and Imperial Treasury, and if you’ve chosen the right tier, the richly decorated Harem, too, often considered the crown jewel of the palace.

Marvel at both sides of the city

Take advantage of the hop-on-hop-off bus tour to explore at your own pace. Ride across continents over the Bosphorus Bridge, headphones in, breeze on your face. Join the Asian side walking tour and explore neighbourhood markets, hidden mosques, and the quiet pulse of local life.

See cultural touchpoints you'll never forget

If you want to catch a break from sightseeing, head to a traditional Turkish hammam to soak away your worries. Steam, marble, and centuries-old rituals leave you both relaxed and wide-eyed. Later, take a seat at a Dervish ceremony, where spinning robes and haunting music create a meditative atmosphere. Go in the evening for a quieter, more intimate experience.

Sail across the city

No Istanbul visit is complete without a view from the water. Reserve the Bosphorus dinner cruise in advance, where you’ll dine under the stars as palaces and mosques drift past on both sides. Arrive early to claim a window seat; the view is worth it.

The city's best | All-in-one Pass

Whether you’re a history buff, a culture lover, or a first-time explorer, the Istanbul Mega Pass takes care of the details so you can focus on the experience. Choose 2 or 4 attractions, upgrade for more, or go all in with the Deluxe Pass.
