Topkapi Palace

The home of Ottoman sultans for hundreds of years, Topkapi Palace is part of Istanbul’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dating back to 1459, this sprawling royal residence once covered a huge stretch of the shore – and even had its own hospital, mint and mosques within the walls. Now a museum, it displays some of the most important artefacts of the Muslim world.

    Ensure that you schedule enough time to visit. The recommended time is not enough to spend time with everything. Ensure that you include Harem as part of your tour. An absolute must see to appreciate the rest of the tour

    i know the country is struggling and that they also have to do what they can to reduce the hordes tramping through Topkapi, but you have to be on the level of the British Museum or the Louvre with a once-in-a-lifetime traveling exhibit to justify these kinds of prices. I'm very interested in Turkish history as well as an archaeology buff and it didn't merit the investment. i think they should cut the price in half, offer a steep discount for seniors, and cut off ticket sales at a certain volume each hour.

    1,700 lira per person, payable in cash or card (debit/credit) in TL, Euros, or USD. The free audio guide requires you leave your passport as deposit (not $), so be sure to bring yours. There is only one place inside that require women to wear a shawl and they have freebies you can use at the entrance to those rooms. The harem is included in this price, NO need to pay an extra 600 TL. Budget at least a good couple hours just to tour the place.

    Too expensive ticket, but if you enter, do eat before entering and grab with yourself a bigger bottled water. There is no place to get a water inside, one spot sells drinks at multiple times the normal price. The trip may last around 3 hours so eat well beforehand. Really recommend going early, as later in the day and after 2 + hours after opening, it gets too crowdy.

    1500 Liras per person in June 2024. We had to pay this price for kids aged 7, 9 and 11 as well. You only get discount if you show passports. Overpriced and too many people. Museum is worth visting but not at that price.

    Spotless, stylish with fabulous views of the Bosphorous. It was an easy walk into the old city with Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace & the Basilica Cistern and easy 10 minute walk. Loved our room with sea view balcony. No alcohol at the hotel but the Elisia Hotel restaurant is just around the corner with good cold meze, great prawns & drinks. Lunch at the Mula was good with great homemade lemonade. The staff were very attentive & helpful especially Naz who booked a great dinner out for us for my birthday.

    The hotel serves good breakfast. You can order various omlets. Seçkin Kaya (food&beverage manager) and his team were great: very helpful and responsive. There are kettle and tea in the room. Location of the hotel is perfect. Walking distance (5-7 min) from Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cisterna, Sultanahmed square, Istanbul Archaeological Museums (recommended), Topkapi Palace, etc.

    The Beyaz Saray was just perfect for our first stay in Istanbul. The Hagia Sofia, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cisterna and the Great Bazaar can be reached by foot easily. The staff was kind and helpful, our room was spacious and clean. The breakfast buffet was nice too, there was a lot of different foods (soups, vegetables, cheese, bread, fruits and sweets) to try which varied on a daily basis.

    The staff were amazing! So friendly and helpful. The roof terrace was a highlight of our trip. We bought refreshments and snacks (at the hotel's suggestion) and enjoyed a beautiful view of the city every evening. We went to a different rooftop restaurant during our trip and honestly the view from the hotel was better. The location is great - short walk to Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and Topkapi Palace. It was also close to a tram station so we could easily get over to the Galata Tower side.

The staff is amazingly nice, in the restaurant Ramazan conquered our hearts, being attentive and sweet. The food is diverse, served in a very nice, intimate atmosphere. Murat, Ömer and Furtian were also great. The room was big and comfortable, very clean. Many shopping and eating possibilities can be found in the vicinity of the hotel. Whenever I will come to Istanbul, for sure I will stay in this hotel!

Excellent value for money, awesome location - few minutes walk away to popular attractions (Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace etc), near to the tram line, near to popular restaurants in Sultanahmet area. This is also a very generous hotel in terms of variety of their breakfast. I was surprised of the selection and quality/taste, good job guys. Thanks Florina Hotel for making our time in Istanbul a comfy and memorable one.

What guests said about Topkapi Palace:

  • Walk everywhere possible.

    Walk everywhere possible. Visit Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica cisterns and Topkapi Palace but go as early as possible as they get very crowded. For a trip on the Bosporus get the public ferry from under the Galata bridge to the last stop and go up to the castle and then get last ferry back to Istanbul. The first ferry is at 10.35 and the ferry back is at 3ish. It is very reasonable but there is no commentary but we thought it was excellent but be early to get a good view and position on top deck. We found the best restaurant to be Amedros. We went two times and the food is excellent and good value and the staff friendly attentive.

    If you go to Topkapi Palace it is worth paying for a guided tour in order to appreciate it. Audio guides are available but in my experience these are often disappointing. The rooms are often empty and there is limited information to read. A guide brings the place to life.
