From January 1, 2024, the cost of entrance tickets to Istanbul's key tourist attractions will increase dramatically, especially for foreign visitors. According to the Turkish media, under the Department of Museology and Promotion of the National Palaces Administration, the cost of combined tickets that cover the main cultural sites will increase significantly.

For example, the price of a combined ticket to Topkapi Palace (Topkapi Palace + Harem) for foreign visitors, which used to cost 950 Turkish Lira, will increase to 1500 Turkish Lira. This also applies to other combined tickets that allow tourists to explore the city's cultural attractions.

Such changes in the cost of entrance tickets can lead to the fact that the excursion program will become less affordable for many tourists, especially foreigners. It is worth noting that this increase in prices applies to both independent tourists and organized groups.
