About this experience

Explore Topkapı Palace and its Harem — the imperial heart of the Ottoman Empire — with a personal QR e-pass that activates when our team scans it.

For nearly four centuries Topkapı Palace was the residence and court of the Ottoman sultans. Walk through its courtyards and pavilions, the Imperial Treasury and the terraces overlooking the Bosphorus, then enter the Harem, the private quarters of the sultan's family, with its tiled rooms and courtyards. This pass covers both the palace and the Harem.

Good to know

Activation point: next to the Sultanahmet tram stop (T1) on Divanyolu Caddesi — message us on WhatsApp when you arrive and our team will scan your passes. Your e-pass is activated when the HI NYC Travel team scans its QR code or barcode, and stays valid for 24 hours from that moment. Opening hours, visitor routes and closures are set by each attraction and can change (for example around prayer times at Hagia Sophia). Hagia Sophia is an active mosque: shoulders and knees must be covered and women are asked to cover their hair. Bring a photo ID. Topkapı Palace is usually closed on Tuesdays — check before you activate.

How your E-Pass works

    Activate on the day

    Meet the HI NYC Travel team at the activation point in Sultanahmet (map below). Your pass becomes active the moment they scan it — not before, so you choose the day.
