We started our tour of Istanbul with a visit to the Archeological museum. We bought the museum pass at the gate. This will give you access to the Istanbul Archaeology Museum, Topkapi, Topkapi harem, Haga Sophia and Chora museums. The pass is very convenient and saved us about 20 minutes time of queue for Topkapi and Haga Sophia.
