Yerebatan Sarnıcı Bilet Sırasını Atla Giriş & Sesli Rehber

Wow, I know it may look it in the pictures but it doesn't even capture just how big and beautiful this place really is. My only complaint was the audio guide sucked. It barely gives you any information and you NEED to download it in that while it says you don't have to, once you are down there you have no reception anyway meaning it won't work. But besides that- this really is a beautiful sight, and there's a little cameo in the back which allows for some AWESOME pictures. You'll know it when you see it. Only takes about 30-40 minutes to see so if you got a little time to kill in Istanbul- I'd def recommend.

We weren't sure we were going to visit ahead of time, but are so glad we did because this was such a unique space. You can walk the path at your pace and stop to take pictures, so you can make the visit as long or short as you need. A lot of stairs, but once at the bottom it's flat. I'd be careful with young children because there isn't much to prevent falling in.

The Basilica Cistern is truly one of Istanbul’s hidden gems and an unforgettable experience. As soon as you step inside, you’re transported into a mysterious, almost magical underground world. The soft lighting, the cool air, and the reflection of the ancient columns in the water create a unique and atmospheric setting unlike anything else in the city.

It was surprisingly very cooling and a great getaway from the humidity and hot weather. The architecture was impressive. It was kind of strange to see random modern sculptures, perhaps there was an exhibition currently live. Overall, very much worth the price and time to explore the underground water tunnels of Istanbul.
