Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque Combo Visits

Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque face each other across one square, and most visitors see both in a morning. This page covers how to buy that day right: pair your Hagia Sophia entry with the new Hagia Sophia History & Experience Museum next to the mosque — an immersive exhibition that walks you from Constantinople’s first cathedral to today’s Grand Mosque before you step inside the real thing.

Book both for €29.00 + €23.00 — each ticket is issued instantly and independently, so you can visit in either order on the same day.

How the combo works

There's no bundle voucher to juggle: add both products to one order and each admission is issued as its own mobile ticket, delivered together in a single email the moment payment completes. Because the tickets are independent, you choose the order on the day — museum first for the back-story, or the mosque first while the morning is quiet. Both are date-bound, all fees are included in the prices shown, and each product's cancellation terms appear at checkout (free cancellation until the day of your visit). Show each ticket on your phone at its own entrance — nothing to print, nothing to collect.

Do you need Blue Mosque tickets?

No — the Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Camii) stands directly across the square from Hagia Sophia and remains free to enter as a place of worship outside prayer times. That's exactly why this combo is built the way it is: your money goes to the two admissions that are actually ticketed — Hagia Sophia's visitor gallery and the History & Experience Museum — and the Blue Mosque joins your day for free. Anyone selling you a "Blue Mosque ticket" on its own is charging for something the mosque doesn't.

Building the classic Sultanahmet day

The proven rhythm: Hagia Sophia right at opening while the gallery is quiet, the museum or the Blue Mosque late morning, and Topkapı Palace next door for the afternoon. If you'd rather have the story told than narrated, a guided tour covers Hagia Sophia in depth and still leaves the afternoon free; all current prices, including per-person costs for every option, are on the prices page.
