It 's an interesting method , but as for me after the film , it 's very overrated, very high humidity inside , a lot of people . You can visit it once

If you arrive in the morning, the queue goes fast enough. The price is 900 liras- December 2024.

The underground reservoir of Constantinople is one of the main attractions of Istanbul! The cave is more than 10 meters deep! Beautiful lighting, marble pillars! The viewing paths that you walk through the whole cave! We were in December now, but it's warm in the cave, despite the high humidity! Admission is paid, but it's worth the money for this beauty! You won't regret it!
Five points!

One of the most mysterious and mystical places in Istanbul.
This is the Basilica Cistern or Yerebatan (translated as "underground palace"
.
A must-visit.

A very atmospheric and mysterious place. It is better, of course, to get there with a minimum number of tourists.
A number of compositions are very suitable for this place, the photos are excellent.

This is a very unusual place. The former freshwater reservoir is very beautifully presented ... everything seems to be simple, but ... I recommend you to visit!

An extraordinarily beautiful place. The building itself and the history are fascinating.
And, of course, the place is cinematic, there are a lot of people.
Take an electronic ticket - cheaper and faster!

Definitely worth the money.
I advise you to come in the late afternoon, closer to lunch there are huge queues at the entrance.
Entrance and exit separately

I do not think that admission for foreign citizens is worth the money (as in Dolmabahce and Galata Tower, tickets for foreigners are very expensive; but Dolmabahce is worth it)

Well, such a place, there's not much to see, an obvious overdraft at the entrance (900 liras in the afternoon and 1400 liras in the evening), for the sake of a tick, you can visit, but no more.

It's like 6 or 7, not 5 at all. It leaves a lot of impressions. You start to feel different about time. Even fragments of modern art inside are not annoying. Gorgeous Gorgon Jellyfish. It is reasonable to arrive / approach the opening, there is almost always a queue, and it is outside - evaluate the current weather conditions. The entrance and ticket offices are from Alemdar Street, opposite Hagia Sophia. Prices change quickly, our visit is 300 lira per person, spring is 23. A rare place in Istanbul where it makes sense to buy a ticket online.

The Basilica Cistern is an amazing, grandiose structure! It is impossible to imagine how people could have built all this in the sixth century without modern construction equipment! Highly recommend it!

I was in Istanbul a month ago. We lived next to this museum. The cistern is an ancient water storage. There are several cisterns in Istanbul, this one is the most beautiful! There are ancient Gorgon Jellyfish heads. I recommend you to visit.

There are several such "cisterns" in Istanbul. This one is the biggest and most famous. It is definitely worth a visit. I have not seen this anywhere except Istanbul, it is impressive even with crowds of people inside

It's cool, but the prices are just space ..
After, it seems, 18:00, the entrance price is almost 2 times higher. To give 3,000 rubles to walk around the tank for 15 minutes is somehow very cool.
And so atmospheric.

It's a beautiful place, the lighting is very well done. But in fact it's just a tank where you will visit for 15 minutes and pay 1300 rubles (price on 02.26.35)

Tickets cost 4 tons per person. I saw a lot of photos in insta, caught fire, went! Impressions, to put it mildly... lack of impressions in general. Queues at the ticket offices, but in principle we passed quickly, e-tickets without queues. The ticket offices accept only lira, so I had to queue up a second time. It 's not worth the money . The whole tour took 30 minutes.

It is worth visiting) the daily entrance on 02/09/2024 for tourists costs 600 lira per person.
In the evening, as I understand it, it is about twice as expensive, because concerts of classical and folk music are held in the evening (I read on the Internet)

Tickets are not cheap, but unlike some other attractions of the city, there is an understanding of what I paid for - it's very beautiful inside, unlike anything I've been to before.

The place is interesting in itself, but you won't want to visit it more than once. It is well equipped, an interesting play of light due to the backlight, but it is damp and dripping from the ceiling, which of course is okay, but there is not much to see there, unless in a complex with St. Sophia Cathedral

An interesting place. A must-visit. I've seen it on blogs before, but it turned out to be even bigger in person.
It's cool inside and very humid. Be sure to find the heads of the Gorgon medusa.
The queue is long. But there is almost no queue for online tickets
The ticket in August 2023 cost 350 liras
