We swung by the Museum of Archaeology to pick up our Museum Pass. We'll be back to the Museum later today, but for now we're just taking advantage of its short line to skip the long lines at Topkapı Palace (Museum Pass holders can skip the ticket-buying line since essentially you already have a ticket). We have 5 days in Istanbul, and this pass will cover a great deal of our touring. Note: as you can see, the pass cost 125 lira. As of 2023, it costs 1,750 lira!!!!!!!!!
