Thanks for the tips! I can't believe how expensive some of the museums are now. For example, Topkapi palace is $72 for us, which is more than we would pay in Australia (which is an expensive country). It's more than you would pay in cities like London and New York even! I really think it will just put some tourists off going to those places, and they'll make less money. I'm just shocked that Turkiye would be so expensive especially when the lira is so bad at the moment. It's a shame...

Its a pity that Istanbul sites have become so expensive for travelers outside the EU and Usa (our currency like Turkiye is weak about 23 Rands to 1 Euro). I am doing my second visit to Istanbul and Turkiye in April and using your videos I do the free sites and spend my money on the delicious foods. Thank you Berry

Bro, it's expensive even for EU citizens, it's really tight everywhere at the moment. I was planning to visit the musuem and maidens tower, instead I will spend 2 days in Bursa and visit the free sites, which there are plenty in Istanbul. ❤ going in June. Also being a Muslim, I can visit Haga Sofia for free during prayer times, just the ground floor though

Too expensive

You’re videos are very helpful!!! Love your work. Highly appreciated ♥️✨

Thanks again, really appreciated, very informative and interesting ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Interesting info. Please have in mind, that those cards are only intersting and cheaper, if you plan to visit all those places. If you add the prices for the Istanbul places without the card , you'll reach about 140 Euros. The Muze Kart Istanbul would be a cheaper option here. But if you for instance want to skip Maidenstower or Topkapi Palace, it is cheaper to visit those places without the card.

Thanks for the information. I'll be more prepared for my July trip.

Thank you Bery for all your videos! We toured with Kaan today and it was awesome! We really enjoyed every aspect 😊 God bless!

It seems to me that some attractions have become very expensive to visit ? For example, when I was in Turkey in autumn 2021, and at that time, visiting Hagia Sophia was still free.

Useful guidence . Thanks.

Hi there Bery, Do you know if tourists can pay for the museum pass in Turkish lires?. It'll be helpful for us.

I am planning to visit turkey in couple of days n on applying visa it was quite surprising that turist visa is so expensive

Beautiful 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻♥️😘🥰

Nice Sister ❤❤❤

Very useful info, thank you. Just to find out, if I get the Turkye Museum pass will it include ALL the other places that will be included in the regional passes? Also is there a child pass I can get for the kids?

@BeryIstanbulTips

2 ай бұрын

As I mentioned in the video, yes! All the museums throughout Turkiye which are part of the Ministry of Tourism and Culture will be included in the Museum Pass Türkiye. There’s not a pass for kids, otherwise, I’d have included it ☺️

Yeah, so don’t even bother it is not worth it. Also 15 days only for the turkey pass is insane. You’d have to spend 1 day in every location to make it worth the cost.

Sorry for asking irrelevant question but may I know your rhinoplasty doctor? I am plan ing to do a rhinoplasty in turkey

Prices of the attractions are pretty much a roberry right now! I will be visiting in a couple days and decided i wont give a single euro in any museum etc. Back in the day everything was super cheap to visit e.g. Hagia Sofia etc.

Bery, we will arrive in Istanbul later this week and plan to buy an Istanbul E-Pass, you haven’t mentioned this, please can you comment as to whether or not this is a good idea? Many thanks

Hola Bery, Podrías hacer un video paso por paso de cómo fue tu proceso para emigrar a Turquía desde México y que te pidieron? Se que estás casada con un ciudadano de Turquía pero según leí eso solo te da derecho a tramitar residencia temporal en el país… estoy comprometido con una ciudadana Turca y nos casaremos el próximo año, inicialmente considere que ella se viniera a vivir a México ya que aquí yo tengo más opciones (crédito para vivienda principalmente) pero con la situación de inseguridad en el país no estoy seguro que sea la opción más responsable, no quiero arriesgar la seguridad de mi chica. Si decidiéramos que yo me mudo a Turquía en vez podrías asesorarme sobre cuál es el proceso por el que tú pasaste para lograrlo? 🙏 Ah y hablas turco fluidamente? (He escuchado que esto es indispensable para obtener residencia permanente y eventualmente ciudadanía en el país además de para aplicar para empleos y demás)… Estaría completamente agradecido si me puedes orientar… Saludos desde CDMX! ❤

I don’t mind paying. But, 25€ for a mosque?

do i need to take passes for the kids? please inform

Worth to mention that in order to visit the Harem at Topkapı you must visit the Palace in the same day. The Harem entry is inside the Palace garden and you cannot validate the pass twice only to visit the Harem. Tried that and we missed the Harem because we didn't had the time to visit it the first day.

Thank you very much for this valuable information. My wife and I will visit Türkiye for the full month of May. So the 15 day pass looks like the best value for us. In my humble opinion, if you can afford to visit Türkiye, you can afford the prices to get into the museums. Go big or stay home.

@BeryIstanbulTips

Great question! Museum Passes are the ones provided directly by the Ministry of Tourism and Culture of Türkiye (OFFICIAL ONES). The other one is sold by private travel agencies, so I cannot say if they are really worth it or not :).

For you might not be worth it, for many others it is. In fact, tourism hasn’t declined at all, we have seen even more tourists and huge lines even now that is not even high season, the line for Hagia Sophia is been quite long too!
