Frequently asked

Real questions, straight answers.

Is the Istanbul PRIME Pass worth it? +
If you plan to visit three or more major attractions, yes. A single pass covers 78 included attractions — Hagia Sophia, Topkapı Palace, Basilica Cistern, Dolmabahçe Palace, Galata Tower and a Bosphorus cruise among them — so the value builds quickly compared with buying separate tickets and guided tours.
What's included, and how many attractions are there? +
The pass includes 78 attractions, tours and experiences with skip-the-line entry, plus 22 optional add-ons available to pass holders at member prices. Included highlights are major landmarks, museums, observation decks, Bosphorus cruises and audio guides.
Are Hagia Sophia and Topkapı Palace included? +
Yes. The Hagia Sophia guided tour with skip-the-ticket-line entry and the Topkapı Palace Museum guided tour are both included attractions, along with the Basilica Cistern, Dolmabahçe Palace, Blue Mosque and Galata Tower.
When does the pass start counting? +
The clock starts the moment you first scan your pass at any attraction. From there it runs on consecutive calendar days for the duration you chose.
How do I receive the pass? +
Your QR pass is delivered by email the moment payment clears — there is nothing to print. Open it on your phone or import it into the Istanbul PRIME Pass app, then show and go at each attraction.
Can I use it for a family or with children? +
Yes. Each traveller needs their own pass; a child pass is priced €10 below the adult pass. Children under 6 generally enter free at most attractions and need no pass.
Can I cancel? +
Yes. Refunds are available up to 24 hours before your selected start date. After activation (first scan), the pass is non-refundable.
Do I need to print my pass? +
No. The QR code on your phone is all you need. We recommend saving it offline before your trip.
Is the Bosphorus cruise included? +
Yes — a panoramic Bosphorus sightseeing cruise with audio guide is one of the included attractions on the pass.
How is PRIME different from the regular Istanbul Tourist Pass? +
PRIME is the premium tier — same backbone, but it bundles audio guides, priority skip-the-line lanes where available, and unlocks discounted member pricing on 22 premium add-ons (hammam, dinner cruise, guided tours, transport card).
Where is my pass valid? +
Across central Istanbul and select day-trip locations. See the included attractions list for the full, current roster.
Can I share my pass with someone else? +
No. The pass is personal — operators may ask for ID matching the email on the order. Travelling together? Buy a pass for each traveller.
