Ticket Details

If you are in Istanbul, visiting the Topkapi Palace is a must. With this entrance ticket, you'll be able to witness with your own eyes the opulence and grandeur of Constantinople during the times of the Ottoman Empire.

How it Works?

We'll meet at the indicated time inside the Chimney Bistro Restaurant, near Topkapi Cafe, and from there, head by foot to the monument. Once we've passed through security controls, you'll be free to explore the site at your own pace.

Built shortly after Mehmed II took Constantinople, the Topkapi Palace has been expanded by different rulers. It currently houses four courtyards and multiple buildings inside, including the Treasury, the Harem, the Imperial Mint, and the Baghdad Kiosk.

As you explore the palace rooms, you'll learn all kinds of curious facts. For example, did you know that several relics of Muhammad are kept inside this palace, or that it houses some of the most valuable objects in the world? You will uncover all this and much more thanks to the audio guide on your mobile phone, which is included. Come and find out!

Afterwards, we'll meet back up at the entrance to the Harem so you can get in. To visit this space, it's important to follow the instructions provided; otherwise, an additional ticket may be required.
