Unlimited Istanbul Public Transportation Tourist Card
Digital PassEasy Cancellation
An Istanbul pass bundles entry to many attractions, tours or rides into one purchase, so it is worth it when you plan to see a lot in a few days. The options below include multi-attraction passes such as the Istanbul Tourist Pass and the Istanbul SAVER Pass, plus an unlimited public transport card; the official Museum Pass Istanbul covers state-run museums only and is sold separately.
It depends on how much you plan to see. A pass pays off when you visit several paid attractions or tours within its validity; if you only plan one or two sights, single tickets are simpler. Compare the attractions included in each pass with your own list before you buy.
Both are digital multi-attraction passes, from different providers, with their own attraction lists, durations and prices. Open each pass to see exactly what is included and how entry works, then pick the one that matches your plans.
The official Museum Pass Istanbul, issued by Türkiye's Ministry of Culture and Tourism, gives one entry to each of a set of state-run museums and archaeological sites in Istanbul during its validity. It does not include tours, cruises or privately run attractions.
The metro, trams, buses, Metrobüs and city ferries all accept the same contactless card. The unlimited public transport card listed here covers them for the number of days you choose, so you do not need to top up.
Some passes include priority or hosted entry at certain attractions — check each attraction's entry details on the pass page. Security checks at the landmarks still apply to every visitor.
