Travelers usually look for the current Basilica Cistern entry fee: it is typically a separate ticket and not covered by regular public transport cards or older-style museum passes.
The site is in central Sultanahmet, near Hagia Sophia, at Alemdar, Yerebatan Cd. 1/3, Fatih, so many visitors budget for it as a separate paid stop during a day in the Old City.
