Happiness is the Hagia Sophia - Había Sophia was more beautiful and magical in person. Went at night and saw it lit up. Went inside in the day time and blown away by the elegance and mystique!

The Grand Haghia Sophia - The most amazing architectural building in the whole world. This place holds so much history and its so sacred and amazing. Its worth every penny. Luckily I didn't wait long unlike other places, its on my must visit every time I visit Istanbul

35 Euros entrance fee rip off. - I did some sightseeing outside, however the entrance fee is 35 Euros PER person, so 140 for 4 people. So said no thanks when Blue Mosque is free to enter

Visit to the Cristina Basilica, an Orthodox church and currently a Mosque. - Saint Sophia, Saint Wisdom, women today must cover their heads and cannot show their legs or arms. It is interesting to go with a guide who can tell you its history.

Gorgeous Christian Mosaics…ticket price too high!!!! - This mosque is unique because of the Christian mosaics. It was extremely crowded and the ticket cost is unnecessarily high—2 adult tickets to view the mosque (only) was over $100 US dollars. All religious buildings should be free to visit for all faiths. If the Blue Mosque is free, this one should be also. Not convinced it’s worth the ticket price especially due to the huge noisy group tours—they should be given specific hours to visit so solo visitors can enjoy some peace and tranquility during this religious visit, regardless of one’s faith. Be sure to wear long pants/long skirt, sleeves, and women need a head scarf. If not, you must also spend 5€ for a cover—another extra expense —the Blue Mosque also gives this out free/must return.

Too expensive despite the beauty of the monument - The monument is beautiful from the outside but the price is exorbitant for 15 minutes and moreover it varies according to the moment because no price displayed for tourists! FYI, it’s almost free for Turkish people! It is a choice

If you are not close to 50€, go ahead - The basilica is beautiful, the museum is nice, but at 50€ (200 balls for 4) I advise against it is not justified, it is fdg.

What a disappointment - I came away feeling disappointed; the ticket price is extortionate for what you’re actually allowed to visit. I was under the impression that the whole area was open to visitors (outside of prayer time of course) but alas no. Just the upper balconies. And yes whilst impressive and a hugely important building it such a disappointment. Go really careful on selecting your ticket choice - you get rather bombarded with different options. The museum for me is absolutely not worth the money.
