In reply to Macario. Hello Macario, yes, as far as I know, entrance is free for children under 6 years old. If you show the child's passport to the officer at the box office when you buy a ticket, they will give a free pass for the child.

Hello Serhat

Thank you for creating this blog. Do you know if a ticket is required for children under 6 (even if it is free) or they can go in without ticket just accompanied by an adult with ticket?

In reply to Masoud Abdul Rahiman. Dear Masoud, as far as I know, entrance to Topkapi Palace is free for children under the age of 7. However, I'm not 100% sure as the rules on this subject can change from year to year. Other than that, I don't think there is a discount for foreign students. Student discount is only available for Turkish citizens, with the exception of a few private museums (e.g. Istanbul Modern).

Thanks a lot, Serhat for your blog. Really liked the information. I see that in some sites, there is a mention that students have a discounted rate which even international students can avail. I am travelling to Instanbul with my kids. Can you shed some light on that?

Thanks,
Masoud A R.

In reply to Jesse Josiah M.. There is no need to seek scientific certainty in matters of faith. There are many churches in the world that claim to have the true cross. The same goes for the relics of saints. Whatever you believe in matters related to religion is the truth for you.
