Your ticket arrives as a QR code straight to your phone. There is no pickup office, no kiosk queue and no voucher to exchange somewhere else in the city, which is where most Hagia Sophia tickets cost travellers their morning. Walk to the entrance, show the code, go in. Security screening applies to everyone and cannot be skipped, so allow a few minutes for that; past it, the upper gallery is yours at your own pace with the audio guide.

Your ticket covers the visitor route through Hagia Sophia's upper gallery, the museum section of the building.

Explore at your own pace with the audio guide on your phone.
