Ihr Tagesplan
Die Reihenfolge folgt der Lage der Orte, ein Tag umfasst höchstens sieben Stunden inklusive Wege — so lang wie eine Ganztagesführung. Eintritte sind Richtwerte pro Person und bei meinen Touren immer separat zu zahlen.
Häufige Fragen zu Eintrittspreisen in Istanbul
Was kostet der Eintritt in die Hagia Sophia?
Für die Besuchergalerie der Hagia Sophia werden rund 25 € verlangt, Kinder unter 8 Jahren zahlen nichts. Planen Sie eineinhalb bis zwei Stunden ein. Stand der Angabe: September 2026.
Lohnt sich der Museumspass İstanbul?
In dieser Übersicht ist bei 22 der 634 Orte vermerkt, dass der Pass gilt, darunter der Topkapı-Palast und die Archäologischen Museen. Er rechnet sich, wenn Sie innerhalb weniger Tage mehrere staatliche Museen besuchen; für Moscheen, Basare und private Häuser gilt er nicht.
Welche Sehenswürdigkeiten in Istanbul sind kostenlos?
351 Einträge dieser Liste kosten keinen Eintritt: alle großen Moscheen einschließlich der Blauen Moschee und der Süleymaniye, der Große Bazar und der Gewürzbazar, Viertel wie Balat und Kuzguncuk sowie Parks wie der Gülhane-Park. Über den Schnellfilter Kostenlos sehen Sie nur diese Orte.
An welchen Tagen sind die großen Museen geschlossen?
Der Topkapı-Palast bleibt dienstags geschlossen, der Dolmabahçe-Palast montags. Moscheen sind zu den Gebetszeiten und besonders freitags mittags für Besucher nur eingeschränkt zugänglich.
Was sollte ich beim Moscheebesuch beachten?
Schultern und Knie bleiben bedeckt, Frauen tragen ein Kopftuch, die Schuhe werden am Eingang ausgezogen. Der Besuch ist kostenlos; um die Gebetszeiten herum warten Sie besser kurz.
Wie viele Sehenswürdigkeiten schaffe ich an einem Tag?
In der Altstadt sind drei bis vier größere Ziele realistisch, weil allein Topkapı und Hagia Sophia zusammen gut fünf Stunden binden. Die Spalte Dauer hilft beim Zusammenstellen, die Wunschliste beim Sortieren.
Kann ich diese Orte mit einem deutschsprachigen Reiseleiter besuchen?
Ja. Ich bin staatlich lizenzierter Reiseleiter und führe auf Deutsch, Türkisch und Englisch. Eintrittsgelder sind bei meinen Touren immer separat zu zahlen, sie sind nie im Führungspreis enthalten. Merken Sie sich Ihre Wunschorte über das Herz-Symbol und schicken Sie mir die Liste per E-Mail oder WhatsApp.
Preise und Öffnungszeiten sind Richtwerte, Stand September 2026, ohne Gewähr. Der Topkapı-Palast ist dienstags geschlossen, der Dolmabahçe-Palast montags. Für Moscheebesuche gelten bedeckte Schultern und Knie, Frauen tragen ein Kopftuch.
