Thank you so much, Anne! I’m really glad the information was useful for your planning. I’ll keep updating the guides — wishing you a wonderful trip to Istanbul!

Hello Sasha, I am not fully informed on this subject. However, I can share my guess with you.

I do not think that people who are not Turkish citizens and do not have a Turkish ID number can get Muzekart.

Museum entrance fees have been revised this year and there is no discount for non-Turkish citizens.

This year I tried to renew my card/buy a new one and it won’t let me. It says my kimlik is wrong. Does this mean that people who are resident in Turkey but are not Turkish citizens can no longer buy the Muzekart?

The options on the app for the mobile Muzekart and the Muzekart+ are no longer available to me. I can’t find any updated information about this. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Josh, unfortunately I don’t have any definitive information on this. I have never seen restorations in Istanbul completed on time. For this reason, I cannot say anything until there is an official announcement that the Galata Tower is opened.

Hello Umar, unfortunately, Museum Pass Istanbul is not valid for entering Hagia Sophia.

Hello Linda, October is a very busy period for Istanbul. For this reason, there may be long queues at the museum entrances even at the end of October.

However, I would like to remind you that purchasing a Museum Pass will not give you skip-the-line entry priority everywhere. For example, you will still have to wait in line at places such as Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cistern.

However, thanks to the Museum Pass, you can quickly enter places such as Topkapi Palace, Istanbul Archaeological Museums and Galata Tower.
