About this tour

This 24-hour Megapass lets you ride Istanbul's hop-on hop-off buses at your own pace, getting on and off as often as you want at stops near the city's biggest landmarks, museums, and waterfront. Onboard audio commentary in several languages fills you in on the history and architecture as you go. Grab a seat up top for open views of the monuments and the Bosphorus, or stay below for shade and air conditioning. The clock starts when you first board, so it's an easy way to cover a lot of ground in a short stay.

Highlights

See Istanbul's main landmarks and neighborhoods on your own schedule, hopping off wherever you like
Clearly marked stops right by major sights, museums, and the waterfront
Onboard audio commentary in several languages covering the city's history, culture, and architecture

Good to Know Before You Ride

The hop-on hop-off buses generally run from morning into the late afternoon, with the first departure around 09:00 and the last around 18:00. Exact times shift by season and operator, so it's worth confirming the schedule for your specific pass before you head out.

One full loop takes roughly two and a half hours depending on the route and traffic, so plan your day around which stops you actually want to spend time at. Since you can rejoin the loop as many times as you like, most people ride the whole circuit once to get their bearings, then double back to the spots they want to explore on foot.
