Basilica Cistern
This cavernous space is the largest remaining Byzantine cistern in Istanbul. Constructed in the 6th century, it originally provided water filtration for the Great Palace of Constantinople, and continued to supply the Topkapi Palace from 1453 until the modern day. Opened to the public in 1987, you can now explore its atmospheric walkways and marvel at the intricacy of its decorative, water-worn columns.

Another interesting place that doesn't merit the long wait, the high ticket price. This is only an hour's visit at most. Walk around this glorious city instead and soak up the atmosphere. I love places like the Cistern but this price doesn't match the experience and I can't stand being packed into a place with huge crowds of tourists.Guest review byIeseancaRomania - 10.0

so glad I went here, you only need about 30 mins but its beautiful and worth a visit. Beautifully lit and apparently there are concerts there sometimes which would be amazing. 800 TL (July 2024) Please note, no toilets (well, I didn't see any).Guest review byMelanieUnited Kingdom - 10.0
Atmospheric.
Atmospheric. Not too busy when we visited, but you won't be alone. Admission fee but worth it. Exit is obvious, entrance around the corner. If there's a queue, say you want to pay with card and you might beat it, as we did.Guest review byPaulC23United Kingdom - 10.0

The Basilica Cistern in Istanbul is indeed a remarkable historical site, and it has been used for cultural and artistic events like Night Shift (cultural performances, concerts, art exhibitions or other creative activities).

An amazing example of how the re-use of old structure has aa long, long history. If you have small children, remember that CO2 is heavier than air, and they might need to be carried for some of the way if they feel a little dizzy.Guest review byWJAustralia - 10.0

its a must visit place as while looking at it one wonders the engineering and architect of that time and the kind of efforts which were made to create a nearly hidden, massive cistern. the ticket price of of 350 lira is a bit steep but since Sultanamet ( Blue Mosque) and Hagia Sofia( now when its a mosque) have no tickets, its OK. all are close by and could be visited in all in 2-3 hrs..Guest review byAlokIndia

The room was clean and the staff helpful and friendly. You don't need to walk far for shopping or eating either and the tram is just up the hill. We were very pleased with this hotel and would consider staying here again if we were to return to Istanbul.Guest review bySue HoneNew Zealand

The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and I felt at home as soon as I arrived. The room was compact but very tidy and comfortable.Guest review byLindaAustralia

The breakfast was copious and interesting. Lots of vegetables, for instance, and a nice choice of sweets (jams, some pastry, almond paste). The location was ideal to visit the main monuments of Istanbul (Topkapi, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque were within walking distance, as was the Grand Bazaar; the T1 tram line was very close and could take us to the ferry piers, the Karaköy neighborhood...)Guest review byPascalFrance
