Istanbul Museum Pass vs Tourist Pass
Save

Hi.

I am visiting Istanbul in March end for a conference and will be staying for 4 nights.

From the point of view of sight-seeing and local city travel, please advise amongst the two passes mentioned. Which is economical and worth enough to spend money?

Plus I am planning to buy an Istanbulkart also. Shall I purchase all online or after arriving in Istanbul?

Thanks in advance,

drkakkar, Definitely the Istanbul Museum Pass. You can get it online from: "http://www.biletix.com/etkinlik/RMK03/TURKIYE/en". You can purchase Istanbulkart when you are here.

I would buy the museum card as the tourist pass seems really expensive! istanbul kart you can buy for 6 liras (some places sell 10) and charge it with the money you need. you buy it in kiosks all around the city.

Thanks Yasemin for the advise.

I think a refund is also possible in Istanbulkart?

drkakkar, possible but difficult to get. You have to present the receipt and the card at the place you bought it. You can only get a refund for the deposit (about 2.3 USD), not for the remaining credits. Do you think it is worth wasting precious time to look for your refund point? Keep it as souvenir or give it as a tip to one of the service people who helped you.

cheers,
