Hi,
Does anybody know the website where I can purchase combined tickets for the Topkapı Palace + Hagia Irene + Harem? I'm looking at the official website but they're only showing prices but not the actual link to buy tickets.
I don't intend on buying the 5-day Istanbul museum pass.
Thank you,
Antonette
Someone else might be better able to answer, but I've been twice (once in July and once in January) and didn't prebook - I just bought them at the ticket window on site. It wasn't much of a queue.
PS - we loved the Dolmabahçe Palace as well - definitely worth it.
I don't see a place to buy Topkapi tickets on the official website, either. https://www.millisaraylar.gov.tr/Lokasyon/2/Topkapi-Palace. You can try again, at other hours of the day, to see whether that changes things.
Like Simon, I just showed up and bought my ticket at the site. There was a bit of a line, but nothing really significant. And I know I didn't show up super-early.
For me there wasn't much to see in Hagia Irene. The Palace is huge and can take a full day. It's too bad the tickets are good for just one day, so you have to cram everything into that one day. However, it would be a real administrative challenge to extend the validity and be sure the tickets were not shared.
Hello! I just read the answers that you were given to your question and I would like to continue your question with a farther question. First of all, thank you for the official website of the palaces, very helpful. But the prices they are giving for the entrances do not include a guide, I can only imagine, as they are much cheaper than the ones I saw on several websites. Can anyone suggest if a private guided tour is necessary and if yes, are there any official guides on the Palaces? Thank you!
