TopkapI Palace

Topkapi Palace, in the heart of Istanbul, is a must-visit landmark steeped in history and grandeur. Built in the 15th century by Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, it served as the primary residence and administrative hub for Ottoman sultans for nearly 400 years. As you enter its gates, you'll step back into an era of opulence and intrigue. The palace showcases stunning Ottoman architecture, with lush courtyards, ornate chambers, and an impressive collection of artifacts. Visit the Imperial Treasury to see exquisite jewelry, including the Topkapi Dagger and the Spoonmaker's Diamond. The palace also houses sacred Islamic relics, such as the Prophet Muhammad’s cloak and sword. Don't miss the Harem section, where the sultans' wives, concubines, and children lived in seclusion. The Harem’s intricate tilework and lavish rooms offer a fascinating glimpse into the private lives of the Ottoman elite.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
