As a result of the hikes that came to museums in Istanbul in the middle of the new season, guests who research online encounter differences at the ticket offices.
At the beginning of 2023, the new price tariffs for museums were updated again and it became very difficult to find accurate prices online. For this reason, it is necessary to share the current prices of the most visited and popular museums in Istanbul from July.
As much as this affects you, it also affects me as a tourist guide. If you would like to get straight to the point, let’s take a look at the price tariffs applied by museums as of July 2023. @atourguideinconstantinople
How much is the entrance to Topkapi Palace?
The museum was the most visited museum in Istanbul last year.
Especially after the opening of the treasure section, which has been under intensive restoration since 2014, new sections have started to attract the attention of visitors without slowing down. It should be underlined that I don’t think there is an increase in prices. The museum seems to have fixed the prices to the foreign currency due to the depreciation of the Turkish Lira on the Euro and the Dollar
If you go today, you will find two different tickets to visit the palace. The first one is just the Palace ticket, which is 750 Turkish Lira (€26/$29). Of course, although this ticket allows you to access most of Topkapi Palace, you will not have access to the Harem of the Ottoman Sultans. As a result, you cannot enter the Harem with this ticket.
If you choose the second option, a season ticket, you will pay 950 Turkish Lira (33€/37$). This ticket will allow you to visit the magnificent courtyards and exhibitions of Topkapi Palace, as well as the Harem apartment, which has been home to Ottoman Sultans, members of the Household and many others for centuries.
This is the current price information from Topkapi Palace, which is the center of attention of Istanbul visitors. If you want to get information about the palace, you can take a look at my articles that I have published on my site and contain special tips or you can contact me directly. I can ensure that you can visit this museum without waiting in line, and I can introduce you to this palace, which is the highest point of Ottoman history.
How much is the entrance to Basilica Cistern?
Let’s talk about the 2nd most visited museum in Istanbul. This cistern, which is famous for the movies it hosts and the spectacular photos shared by its visitors, has recently added to the price increase it made at the beginning of 2023.
After waiting in long queues at the entrance of the museum, guests learn that the ticket they thought was 300 Turkish Liras (11€/12$) has actually increased to 350 Turkish Liras (12.5€/13.5$). Yes, it is now only 350 Turkish Liras per person to visit this magnificent Museum.
I have good news for the museum’s visitors who sometimes have to wait for hours in the sun. We, as official spirit guides, can save you the trouble. With my legal priority, we can take you in without keeping you waiting and we can fulfill our tour.
You can contact me directly about this matter. Contact me now and let’s visit this amazing museum together.You can also follow my very special tips about Cistern on my website or social media accounts.
How much is the entrance to Galata Tower?
Galata Tower, one of the symbols of our city, is waiting to be explored with its extraordinary view, which I highly recommend visitors to Istanbul to visit. The museum opens at 08.30 in the morning and can be visited until 23.00 at night (the ticket office closes at 22.00).
With a 360-degree view of Istanbul, you will have a bird’s eye view of the city and there is an update in the entrance price. Tickets at the entrance are currently 350 Turkish Liras (12.5€/13.5$) per person.
The most important rule to follow during the visit is that visitors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by their parents.
This museum is a place that attracts a lot of visitors due to its name and promises, and is on the list of places that must be visited. For this reason, you should consider that there may be queues at the entrance and the density may affect your visit verm. For this reason, if you want to get professional help, never hesitate to contact me and let’s visit this beautiful museum together.
How much is the entrance to Istanbul Archeology Museum?
I have an advice for Istanbul visitors that they should not miss: Make sure to visit the Istanbul Archeology Museum. The museum, which is open to visitors from 09:00 in the morning to 20:00 in the evening (the ticket office closes at 19:30), awaits its visitors.
This museum, which can attract the attention of all visitors, young and old, will take you on a time travel. Moreover, if you can only spare time for Istanbul in Turkey, you should definitely visit this museum and it will allow you to access all the civilizations of Asia Minor, Mesopatamia and even Egypt.
The entrance fee to such a rich museum is only 200 Turkish Liras (7€/8$) per person.
You can get audio guidance devices at the museum, but if you want to get to know this magnificent history with an expert in the field, I recommend you to contact me. You can follow very special topics and current information live on my website or social media accounts.
BONUS: Dolmabahçe Palace is only 650 Turkish Liras (23€/25$) per person.
