The tikcet delivery happened online, per Whatsapp. I had some follow-up questions that were very quickly answered, and all support was offered.

Nice. But not worth ticket cost.

Juan_P, Jan 2026

The visit was a must for me as I wanted to visit the place for a long time... I watched references in movies, books and I really like the history of the place. However, the visit only allows to go to second floor, with limited visibility of the place, quite crowded. Other mosques in Istanbul are much nicer to visit (Blue mosque, for example) and free. I don't think it worth the cost of the ticket.
