In 2024, tickets to the famous palaces of Istanbul for tourists will become more expensive

From January 1, 2024, tourists planning to visit the ancient and majestic palaces of Istanbul should be prepared for changes in ticket prices. According to local authorities, the cost of entrance tickets to the palaces will increase by 40-60%, which can affect the budget of travelers.

For example, now a combined ticket to the Topkapi Palace, which includes a visit to the palace, the Church of St. Irene and the harem, for foreign tourists costs 950 TRYе (3011 е), and for Turkish citizens and holders of residence permits – 200 TRYе (634 е). From January 1, prices will rise to 1500 TRYту (4754 ту) and 250 TRYту (792 ту), respectively.

The authorities of Istanbul emphasize that the increase in ticket prices is aimed at preserving the cultural heritage of the city for future generations.

The consequences of this decision could have an impact on Turkey’s tourism industry. However, many experts argue that the uniqueness and beauty of Istanbul’s palaces will remain attractive to tourists, despite price changes.
