FAQ

Is there an entry fee for Blue Mosque?

Since the Blue Mosque is a religious place and a place of worship, you can enter the attraction for free. However, we do recommend booking an online tour and visiting it in the company of a professional guide. By doing so, you will be able to learn much more about the Blue Mosque, and you’ll find all about its historical and cultural significance.

Is the Turkey museum Pass worth it?

Absolutely! The Istanbul museum pass is definitely worth it if you want to see as many of the top Istanbul attractions and museums. The pass includes almost everything there is to see in the city, from the Dolmabahçe Palace and Basilica Cistern to Turkish and Islamic arts Museums, as well as other city center attractions.

Are tourist attractions in Istanbul Open?

Yes, the majority of the Istanbul attractions are always open, and their usual working hours are from 9 AM to 7 PM.

How do I spend my layover in Istanbul?

If you are flying to Istanbul, your layover is longer than 7 hours, and you have a valid visa, we highly recommend you visit some of the most iconic landmarks of Istanbul. Consider visiting Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, and Topkapi Palace since they are located in the same area. From the international airport, it’s easy to reach the city center using public transport.

PRO TIP

When building your itinerary, be extremely careful with the days of the week, as Istanbul’s major historical sites do not operate on a universal schedule. The Grand Bazaar is closed on Sundays and the first days of major religious holidays. Topkapı Palace shuts its doors every Tuesday, and Dolmabahçe Palace is closed on Mondays. Plan your itinerary around these closures to avoid locked gates.
