Hagia Sophia Skip the Line Ticket with History Museum Combo

About this tour

Hagia Sophia has stood at the heart of Istanbul since Emperor Justinian ordered it built in 532 AD, when its dome was the tallest ever raised over a Christian church. This combo pairs your entry with the neighboring History Museum, where three floors of interactive exhibits, displays, and preserved artifacts trace how the building shifted from cathedral to mosque to museum and back. Along the way you'll see its famous dome and the fragments of gold mosaic that survive inside.
