- Hagia Sophia is a functioning mosque, so there are special rules for visitors with free admission. Women are not allowed outside the women’s and visitor area and some parts of the mosque are closed to non-Muslims during prayer hours. All visitors must undergo mandatory security checks and adhere to mosque etiquette, which includes a modest dress (head scarves for women only; covered shoulders and knees, no hats and shoes for men and women).
