The Blue Mosque welcomes you not with fanfare, but with quiet awe. You’re standing inside a masterpiece built to touch the divine.
Your visit begins in the serene outer courtyard, before you step barefoot onto centuries-old carpets inside the prayer hall. The space unfolds in symmetry and light, with lofty domes, stained-glass windows, and the whisper of prayer adding to the atmosphere. A visit typically lasts 30–45 minutes.
Don’t miss the lofty central dome with its calligraphic inscriptions, the marble mihrab that points to Mecca, and the quiet reverence of ongoing worship. Yes, it’s still an active mosque.
It’s free to enter, but a guided tour gives you deeper insight into what most miss: from the mosque’s rivalry with Hagia Sophia to the tale behind its controversial six minarets. Expect queues, especially at peak times, so skip-the-line or early access options can be worth the upgrade.
Entry to the Blue Mosque is free, but the charge you see on your ticket is for an add-on service, like a guide or a combo tour.
Since it’s an active place of worship, mosque access is restricted during prayer times. Visitors must clear a mandatory security check—expect up to 30 minutes in off-peak season and up to an hour during peak months (May–mid-September).
A self-guided visit is cost-free, but a guided tour offers richer context. Expert local guides explain the mosque’s Ottoman history, architectural features, and symbolic details while taking you through its main spaces. Booking online ensures availability and helps you plan around busy hours.
The mosque sits in Sultanahmet Square, home to Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and Basilica Cistern. Combo tickets let you explore multiple landmarks in one go, saving time and effort.
Most areas are wheelchair-accessible, though some may have limited access due to historical design.
Dress modestly—shoulders and knees covered for all; women must wear a headscarf.
The Blue Mosque’s dome is exquisite for its perfect Ottoman proportions, cascading semi-domes, and luminous interior accentuated by over 20,000 hand-painted İznik tiles.
Best time to visit: Around 9:30 am to 11 am
Best month to visit: November to March
You can enter the Blue Mosque whenever there is no prayer in session. During these times, the mosque is closed to the public for about 90 minutes each closure. Since the prayer times are based on the position of the sun, they change slightly each day throughout the year. It's best to check the local prayer schedule online before you plan your visit to get the most accurate times.
While the mosque is technically free to enter, the charge on your ticket corresponds to an upgrade like a guided tour or a combo ticket to another Istanbul attraction.
Booking Blue Mosque tickets online secures your spot, avoids long security queues, and guarantees access to guided tours or combos during peak tourist seasons.
You can opt for a Blue Mosque guided tour or you can purchase combo ticket options that include access to the Hagia Sophia or Topkapi Palace along with the Blue Mosque.
If you don't follow the dress code, you will be denied entry. The dress code is strictly enforced as a sign of respect for the religious site.
Here's a summary of the dress code:
No, visitors to the Blue Mosque need not be Muslim. All are welcome, provided they respect prayer times, follow the dress code, and maintain decorum inside.
We recommend you spend around 1 to 2 hours to fully explore the Blue Mosque's interiors and understand its historical significance. If you book Blue Mosque guided tours, an expert tour guide will accompany you for a 2-hour tour through the mosque’s prayer halls and interiors.
Absolutely! Whether you are a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or a spiritual seeker, the Blue Mosque is one of the must-visit attractions in Istanbul. It is the only mosque in Istanbul with 6 minarets and around 20,000 blue Iznik tiles adorning its upper levels. The interplay of light through its grand prayer halls and the stained glass windows make it a remarkable sight to behold.
It was a very interesting and entertaining vist to all thre monuments Our guide (Arthur) was very knowlagable, he gave us a lot of information, and was able to navigate us quickly inside all the attractions
Ticketing was easy, Blue Mosque was beautiful, and our tour guide was excellent. Cenker was very knowledgeable, fun, lively and very accommodating.
Excellent guide. Great experience with skip the line access to some of the most visited spots in this historic area.
Ali was an awesome tour guide! Great experience 👍👍
We were a group of four and we loved the tour. The skip-the-line option really saved us time. The tour guide’s explanations were amazing—clear and interesting. She took the time to answer all our questions and gave us plenty of time to take pictures. They provided us with an ear device so we could hear her more clearly, which was very convenient compared to other guides who speak loudly.
The ticketing experience was flawless! Additionally, Fiek was an amazing guide and was able to highlight the critical historical and contextual facts of each visit, while also completing the story with his own personal experiences. 10/10 would recommend this experience to see the major landmarks of Istanbul.
We booked this tour very last minute and it worked out very well. Saw all three places described and entered with ease. Our tour guide Mark was Very Informative, had time to see the places with ease. Ear pieces worked out well too. The cost for all was worth it too.
We had combined tickets for Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Cisterns Hal our tour guide was excellent and very informative. Would highly recommend.
The tour fuide was very knowledgable, informative, passionate- and a real credit to your organization, and to your country . Thanks to you all for a magnificent experience. Well done!
Our guide was fantastic!! She was well spoken with a nice mix of history and humour. She helped make the tour a great experience. Highly recommend this guided tour - and skipping the lines on a very hot day was so appreciated.
I loved that we skipped the line. I already knew lines would be long for some of the sites and that alone made the tour worth it. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and anticipated most of our questions. There was only one criticism; the headsets used to communicate. They were uncomfortable and fell in and out of reception easily. Mostly because of the restrictions of the city, but also, I think, because of the quality of the headset. But other that that, The tour was worth the price.
Mehmet, the guide, was very clear in his explanations and instructions. We had plenty of time to explore the 3 attractions without being rushed. Great value for money.
The tour was amazing, detailed and it also included much needed breaks for water, coffee or just resting a bit. The crowds were ok for this time of year, not too many people, but either way, there was more than enough time to visit and see everything there was to see. It was really nice that we got to visit during one of the prayer times and saw a glimpse of what it means, with the full explanation from our guide. Be warned: you need to walk a lot, as is to be expecteeld, but I totally recommend this tour
Knowledgeable and helpful guide. Visited three good sites. It was very hot - so would have preferred shorter history lessons and to have moved through the three locations quicker.
First of all, our tour guide Ms. "Kiss". She was amazing! Loud, clear, knowledgable, and clearly passionate about her job. All 3 locations were spectacular in different ways. I highly recommend this tour!
Booking a tour was the best thing we did, our guide Ali was great and made the whole tour much more relevant and interesting. Skip the Line tickets make a huge difference and I would highly recommend them.
The tour ran like clockwork. Our guide, Michael, was in the expected place and knowledgeably took the group to each of the three historic locations, explained their context and interesting and historical details. We were allowed our own time in each location before meeting back at an agreed place for the next stop on the tour. No real queues in the 4th week of June on a 1pm booking, but great to skip lines on this tour where possible. Apparently the rules have changes in the Hagia Sophia allowing guides to take visitors around the 2nd level which meant that Michael could explain the Christian and Muslim iconography in this exceptional 6th century building. Ticketing through Headout was easy and predictable.
Our guided tour was great. Our tour guide was a local woman who was very knowledgeable. Made seeing the 3 sights easy. Would recommend!
The tour was well organized, the guide was concerned about the group and very professional. I recommend the combined ticket for those who only have a short time in Istanbul and want to maximize their time.
Thanks to Ali, very professional and kind. Made us feel comfortable with detailed information of each site. Ancora Imparo...he knows, Michela and Roberto
Our guide (Matar?) was super informative. His delivery was relaxed, belying the fact that he has undoubtedly given the same dozens of times prior to our group. He allowed adequate time at each location for us to walk around before moving on to the next site. I would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone interested in knowing about the history of istanbul.
An enlightening visit to the 3 activities
Friendly tour guides; immediate entry into the sites

Absolutely amazing! Awesome! We all loved our guide! He's a great storyteller, it was a pleasure to listen to everything he told us! Lots of new experiences and information! I literally rushed back home to write down as much as I could remember from this tour, because I didn't want to lose so many important and impressive details he mentioned!
Organized and highly informative... easy to meet the group and see all three sites. Small group.. remember to bring a scarf for your head (ladies) and cover your knees (both men and women) otherwise you have to buy a scarf or skirt. We had a break in the middle for a quick juice or gelato. Great tour.
The mosques are wonderful and the guides where great. Especially Murad was amazing, very profesional and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our tour very much.
It was a very interesting and entertaining vist to all thre monuments Our guide (Arthur) was very knowlagable, he gave us a lot of information, and was able to navigate us quickly inside all the attractions
Buse was our tour guide and did a terrific job! She was very informative, fun and interactive. Definitely would recommend a tour with her. The mosque is a must see during your trip to Istanbul.
Ticketing was easy, Blue Mosque was beautiful, and our tour guide was excellent. Cenker was very knowledgeable, fun, lively and very accommodating.
The guide's explanations in very good English. The guide's help in contacting the Bosphorus cruise company. The large informative panels on the Muslim religion in English and the booklets in several languages.
Our tour guide Buse was amazing. She was very informative and answered everyone's questions with a detailed answer. She definitely made our experience better than if we would have gone without a guide. I definitely recommend doing the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia tour with her.
Excellent guide. Great experience with skip the line access to some of the most visited spots in this historic area.
Ali was an awesome tour guide! Great experience 👍👍
I booked a guided tour through the website, which was very convenient. The guide was knowledgeable and made the tour truly interesting
We were a group of four and we loved the tour. The skip-the-line option really saved us time. The tour guide’s explanations were amazing—clear and interesting. She took the time to answer all our questions and gave us plenty of time to take pictures. They provided us with an ear device so we could hear her more clearly, which was very convenient compared to other guides who speak loudly.
The tour was easy to locate and a good dive into a brief history of the Blue Mosque. Our tour guide gave us good surface-level information and guided us through the Blue Mosque with ease. The Basilica Cistern portion of the purchase, though extremely simple to skip the line, could have used more instructions or direction from the staff at the actual site -- we were very confused as to how to get the audio guide (bring your own earbuds) to function underground. Despite skipping an enormous line, it took us about 30 minutes of setup before we could get going, which killed the momentum a bit and kicked off the Cistern on a frustrating note. Somehow integrating the experience directly into the Headout app would be much easier than dealing with the local website of the exhibit.
Tour was good, but felt stressed finding cruise meeting point alone. Guide should have kindly taken us directly there...
Ali,..the tour guide was profesional,attentive to everything and very smart ,fulfilling even the most private requests.From me 5 Super Stele.Congratulations for your work Ali,from me and my wife,Teo and Lucia.
The tour guide had interesting information about the buildings and was very personable and friendly! We had plenty of opportunity for pictures and breaks and the schedule was very well planned so that it was always entertaining. An absolute recommendation!
The guide was a very knowledgeable lady, of Turkish nationality but with perfect English. Her Turkish name, which I do not resort to, signifibaci.
The ticketing experience was flawless! Additionally, Fiek was an amazing guide and was able to highlight the critical historical and contextual facts of each visit, while also completing the story with his own personal experiences. 10/10 would recommend this experience to see the major landmarks of Istanbul.
We had an excellent guide to visit the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, which I'd been dreaming of for nearly ten years. He was very nice, funny, relevant and very responsive to questions/comments. The Blue Mosque is a real nugget I didn't know much about before seeing it, while I knew the history of Saint Sophia pretty well, and it's just as incredible as I'd hoped.
We booked this tour very last minute and it worked out very well. Saw all three places described and entered with ease. Our tour guide Mark was Very Informative, had time to see the places with ease. Ear pieces worked out well too. The cost for all was worth it too.
Enjoyable and education experience! I enjoyed learning more about Turkish history and some of Istanbul's most famous monuments.
Everything was just as we imagined. In a few hours, we knew and learned what we needed to know thanks to our guide. Highly recommended.
Buse (miss kiss) was an amazing tour guide! She was so knowledgeable and kind. We had a great time learning about Blue Mosque!

Ali was a fantastic guide. Really friendly and full of interesting facts. The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia were incredible to visit with someone who really knows the history. We had a great time! I can only recommend.

I liked having a guide, but it was hard to hear him and he told us to take pictures all the time. I don't need a guide to tell me to take pictures. I would have liked more information about everything we were seeing.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to explain many details. Very personable. No queuing, unproblematic meeting point.
Knowledgeable and helpful guide. Visited three good sites. It was very hot - so would have preferred shorter history lessons and to have moved through the three locations quicker.
First of all, our tour guide Ms. "Kiss". She was amazing! Loud, clear, knowledgable, and clearly passionate about her job. All 3 locations were spectacular in different ways. I highly recommend this tour!

Online ticket cut the queue time and let me enjoy the tour which was awesome. The mobile voice guide was exhaustive and easy to use
The purchase of the tickets was very easy and fast. If I have something to comment, it is the little and small i information of where is the entrance/row of the people who bought tickets online. The Cistern Basilica was amazing, we liked it very much.
I found this combination quite practical. We can access the different sites fairly quickly. It's worth noting that each of these tours is relatively expensive for what they offer. Topkapi Palace is a must-do, but far too expensive for what it offers (note that you have to pick up your ticket before going inside, at a visit checkpoint next to a cafe in front of one of the palace entrances). The queue-cutting cistern is extremely practical, but the visit is not very impressive (allow 30min). The mosque is beautiful, but its history isn't really explained, and it's not at all as impressive as the Blue Mosque opposite, which is free (but more crowded). All in all, I'm glad I did the consisted and saved time, but they're not really worth the detour. For the other two, tickets are available directly from the Apple (Saint Sophie's Mosque + Basilica).
I recommend buying the ticket online to save a long queue. I also recommend the visit to the Cistern. 1 hour is enough to see this magnificent work of Roman civil engineering.
Buse was our tour guide and did a terrific job! She was very informative, fun and interactive. Definitely would recommend a tour with her. The mosque is a must see during your trip to Istanbul.
Both the Hagia Sophia and the sunken palace were beautiful! It is very worthwhile. And especially for the Hagia Sophia, it's worth buying tickets online in advance to avoid the queue at the ticket office. It's also worth it for the Basilica Cistern, as there are 2 different queues here and the one for the e-tickets was quicker in our case.
The architecture of the basilica cistern is amazingly beautiful, very well lit and with a well organized traffic. It has generously met my expectations. But the number of visitors per shift or hour should be reduced.
No queues. Impressive construction.
Tickets were a perfect fit. We got in straight away at 17:00 without having to wait. A great experience.
Impressive! A must see underneath the city. So old and still standing
Made such a difference avoiding the long queues and getting there relatively early was the wa right call
Simplicity in the directions provided, all ok
Amazing Roman technology from the sixth century enhanced by modern lighting effects. The cistern is one of the more spectacular attractions in the old city. Great value for money.
We loved it! The whole buying process was very easy, getting there and going through without waiting was great since we went in with a child and not having to wait was the best thing.
Audio guide was never offered or was available in any of the two venues I visited. So I paid for a service I did not receive. It was already too expensive but missing the guide made the experience much worse.
The organization with the online tickets was fabulous the staff at the entrance was very kind and efficient, they helped us with wi fi and access to the audio guides.
Istanbul's most famous tourist sites. The ticket made it possible to skip kilometer-long lines allowing us easy entry. I highly recommend taking this package deal.
The sights were definitely worth it. The problem with the audio guide was that it was not designed to be user-friendly, could not be played in advance and you had to play it from your own cell phone, which severely affected the battery life of my cell phone, so that after my first exploration tour (in Topkapi Palace) the cell phone only had 7% battery left.
The room is magical. I had goose bumps as soon as I saw it. The darkened light makes it look mysterious. The many pillars make the room so incredibly beautiful. The changing green and orange light makes the room breathtaking. When you walk through the room and look at the high ceilings, bearing in mind that it was all filled with water, you can't help but be amazed. An absolute must-see when you are in Istanbul.
Too bad the audio guide doesn't work in the basement. It should be possible to download the audio offline. The site is wonderful
The attraction is outstanding and worth visiting. On the other hand, the purchase of the tickets with Holdout was not flawless: procedure for purchase was perfect but the confirmation email with the tickets was not complete because the QRCODE was missing. Thanks to the kindness of the employees at the archaeological site we were able to remedy the problem as they got in touch with you and were then able to receive what was needed
Sincerity and clear explanation of the ticket service. I paid twice because it was very important to get in and see the show. The experience was great but it was too expensive (double payment).
Tickets received instantly and fully functional. The price is high, but it is in line with the cost of the ticket at the box office.
The tour was easy to locate and a good dive into a brief history of the Blue Mosque. Our tour guide gave us good surface-level information and guided us through the Blue Mosque with ease. The Basilica Cistern portion of the purchase, though extremely simple to skip the line, could have used more instructions or direction from the staff at the actual site -- we were very confused as to how to get the audio guide (bring your own earbuds) to function underground.

It was very quick and uncomplicated. We are traveling with three children and needed everything to run smoothly. This was guaranteed with the tickets. Great, thank you

The tour guides very nice and had good knowledge about the sights and managed the group easy through the crowds of visitors.
Your company advertisement was misleading. It's the tickets for the top cup of Palace, although it was only the tour., not only did I lose money, but I lost precious time and energy invested. I will make online comments about your company unless I'm reimbursed.
