Hola, la última vez que actualicé el horario de entrada a la mezquita fue en enero. Ahora que los días son más largos, es posible que el horario de entrada se haya extendido un poco más. Creo que ahora se puede visitar hasta las 18:30. Iré a la Ciudad Vieja en unos días; lo revisaré y actualizaré ese día.

Hello, I last updated the mosque entrance hours in January. Now that the days are longer, the entrance hours may have been extended a little later. I think you can visit until 18:30 now. I will go to the Old City in a few days, I will check and update that day.

Hi Soeun, the visiting hours of mosques change constantly depending on the length of the day. For this reason, I cannot share the exact hours with you. However, maybe this image here (although not up-to-date) can give you a general idea.

Thanks for the good information. However, I understand that non-Muslim tourists are only allowed to enter during certain times. Could you tell me what time we can visit?

Hi Soeun, Yeni Mosque is actually on the list and is ranked 11th. New Mosque means “Yeni Cami” in Turkish.

Hello Olivier, no official statement has been made yet regarding the reopening of Kariye Mosque. It has been under renovation since 2020 and is said to be nearing completion. It is expected to open later this year.

Galata Tower restoration is still ongoing. Actually, it was going to be a short-term renovation, but it has been extended and I think it will remain closed for a few more months.

The Tiled Pavilion and Museum of Ancient Oriental Works sections of the Istanbul Archaeological Museums are still closed and I do not think they will open this year.

On the other hand, it would take hours to visit the parts of the archaeological museum that are currently open.

Will Kariye Mosque be open next summer? It’s not very clear for me.

Same questions for Galata tower (but I’m afraid you will confirm it will still be closed) and for the Museum of Ancient Orient (which seems to be closed for renovation).

Thank you

Vielen Dank für Ihre freundlichen Worte zur Website. Wir wünschen Ihnen eine schöne Reise in Istanbul!
