Quick answer
The featured online ticket includes audio commentary in 23 languages and AR features. Bring charged headphones and download or open the guide before entering busy interior areas.
What the guide explains
Expect context for the 537 construction, the floating-dome effect, Byzantine mosaics, Ottoman calligraphy and the building's changes from cathedral to mosque, museum and mosque again.
Languages and equipment
The current offer advertises 23 audio languages. Bring your own earphones and a charged phone; free internet is included for the AR experience, but preparing before entry remains safer.
How long it adds
A basic visual visit takes 45-60 minutes. Listening to the main stops usually extends the route to 75-120 minutes.
Audio guide or live guide?
