Experience Istanbul's history with combined access to two top sites
Visit the Topkapi Palace, a vast imperial complex that served as the heart of the Ottoman Empire for nearly 400 years. Walk through grand ceremonial spaces, courtyards, and chambers with your guide. Continue to Hagia Sophia with a skip-the-line ticket and join your guided tour of the Hagia Sophia, that bridges two empires of Byzantine and Ottoman. Your guide will lead you through its halls, explaining the symbolism behind its golden mosaics, grand dome, and the fusion of Christian and Islamic artistry. After the guided tour, enjoy free time to take photos and continue exploring the palace at your own pace.
