So much to do - Bought the 4 day all inclusive Istanbul Tourist Pass and used it for Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Bosphorus night cruise, Dolmabahce Palace and Rahmi Koc Museum. It was easy to use and there was so much more we could have done if it wasn’t raining! Definitely recommended and saved us a small fortune each.
