Convenient and fast access to the palace and the Harem
The Topkapi Palace and Harem ticket was really useful because not every ticket includes Harem access. I was glad to find a full-access ticket. I loved it there! I spent hours walking around, seeing Ottoman architecture, and imagining how people used to live in such a place. My favorite was the Harem, as well as the courtyards. It was nice to rest outside, too.
Saved a lot of time with a pass!
The Istanbul Museum Pass saved me a lot of time and worry! I don't like to plan too much, so it was great to have a pass with a list of attractions, so I didn't have to do my own research and then look for many tickets. I managed to see the Topkapi Palace, the Dolmabahçe Palace, the Basilica Cistern, and some other places. Topkapi was the best museum in Istanbul for me because there was so much to see, and it was interesting to explore an Ottoman palace because they are so different from the usual European palaces.
Best way to see all the popular Istanbul sites
I highly recommend the Istanbul Pass! Best way to explore Istanbul and save money at the same time! Really easy to enter the attractions, and it included guided tours, so I could learn a lot about Istanbul and Ottoman history. I was able to see all the highlights that I wanted to see - the Topkapi Palace, the Dolmabahçe Palace, the Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque. Great ticket deal!
