A pleasant, relatively low-rise, but quite entertaining palace.
It's clean and well maintained. The territory of the palace has been cleaned, lawns and other vegetation are kept in excellent condition.
Not an nra:
- It's expensive. Neither the Hermitage, nor the Louvre. And against the general background, along with the prices of other attractions in Istanbul, emotions slide into negativity.
- you can't take photos. Even without the flash. Well, it sucks.
The place is magnificent in its beauty and history. The ticket price is 1,500 lire per person. The territory, the palace itself, the harem - everything is majestic and rich. There is a cafe on site with a view of the lake, where two swans and ducks live. The museum of Watches and Crystals was closed (under reconstruction). The view from the gate to the Bosphorus is magnificent. It is a pity that photography inside the palace and the harem is prohibited. There is also an art gallery on site, which is included in the ticket price.
A gorgeous palace, with a luxurious garden around. The interiors that remember Ataturk have been preserved. Very beautiful interior decoration, ceramics, murals. The ticket also includes a visit to the harem. Photos are not allowed in the palace itself. At the entrance to the museums, even before checking tickets, you can take an audio guide for free, leaving a document or money (1000 liras) as a deposit. A guide is very necessary, there are few signs and descriptions, without it little is clear. There is a cafe in the garden, we were not very impressed with the choice of dishes, we did not eat anything.
