- Rich context on Ottoman architecture and symbolism
Recommended ticket:
Headout is an authorized and trusted partner of the venue, offering curated experiences to enjoy this attraction. This is not the venue's website.
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.
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 👍👍
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.
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
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.
The guide Ali, was incredibly knowledgeable - his guiding added real depth to each of the three sights and he was able to take care of us well, preparing us for any practical arrangements e.g. dress codes, queuing, meeting places, toilets etc.. these details are important! The Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and Hagia Sophia were fascinating and beautiful places to visit and worth doing with a guide lest you miss key details. I'd do the trip all over again if given the opportunity and the wonderful guide.
Wonderful places not to be missed! The guide was able to pick us things not described in normal guidebooks!I recommend doing it in the morning to find fewer people!
Our guide, Ali, was amazing. So full of cool information but was very proactive for our group in getting us through shortcuts and making sure we were always prepared for thr next thing. Highly recommend!

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.
Great spots to visit, the guide was great, giod details and good english. Plenty of time to visit, no rushing. Just enjoy
Our guide Öpücük was very good. We were impressed how smoothly she managed to navigate us in such busy places. We never felt rushed or anything. Just very informed about the places we visited. She always found the best stop and she had lots of time for extra questions. Great job!
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 👍👍
The guides were well informed, personable and interesting. Very glad I signed up for this service.
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!
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 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.
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

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!

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.

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.
Tickets were easy to book, great instructions and saved a lot if time by not queuing. In terms of the sites they were really good to see and understand the history behind it. Great addition to our Istanbul trip.
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
The guides were well informed, personable and interesting. Very glad I signed up for this service.
Excellent experience, tickets received without any problem and it is worth buying them online since the lines are long (in August when we went).
There are no words to express the wonder and uniqueness of the Basilica Cistern, unique in the world, not to be missed. Online ticket purchase very easy and convenient skip the line ticket Everything perfect
Fast and easy to get skip the line tickets. And not much more than if we queued for ages!! The Basilica Cistern was definitely worth the visit
The entry for on line tickets Good organised Only for elderly with walking problems a lift external could be a solution
There is a line to buy tickets and another one if you already have them. I recommend going early, we didn't have to queue at all. The place is nice, worth a visit. A relaxed and charming atmosphere. Although we were told there were other small ones with free access, we still decided to buy tickets and did not regret it. It is quite dark downstairs, so we bought the tickets to visit during the day.
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.
Both places are a must-see when visiting Istanbul. The Hagia Sophia with the soaring dome, mosaics and history. The Basicila Cistern with the hundreds of stone columns over dark still water, is atmospheric and visually stunning.
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).
Buse (miss kiss) was an amazing tour guide! She was so knowledgeable and kind. We had a great time learning about Blue Mosque!
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.
Knowing that I was in a place with a very distant past and discovering how the cistern was built was an incredible experience
The audio tour was great. Very informative. Skip the Line was a waste as there weren't any lines when we went. The biggest disappointment was that we could go the ground level of Hagia Sofia as we were told it's for Muslims only.
The audio guide does not have the same order as the places to visit: Hagia Sophia and Topkapi. It is only useful for general ideas but it is out of order
The cistern basilica is very beautiful, Santa Sophia IS beautiful but, in any case the tickets cost too much, I find that 65 euros per person is too much
Two must-see fascinating places. The Cistern an 'incredibly evolved Roman work for that time and very well maintained. St. Sophia a mosque yes but on the layout of a Christian Church, and you can also see it from the mosaics of the Virgin and Jesus preserved in the right side of the structure. Not to be missed.
We had an incredible time at the Blue Mosque with our tour guide Buse. She was very informative and friendly. Would highly recommend this tour and our lovely tour guide ❤️
