Of course, everyone should visit!
A historical place.
The scale is amazing.
You can't get around everything in one day.
Everything is expensive and rich)))
An audio guide is not interesting) take guided tours with some interesting person to tell legends and stories)))
Dollars were not accepted at the checkout, so I had to look for an exchanger at 9 a.m.
The entrance fee is not cheap 2t lira.
But for this price, we didn't even see the Sultan's chambers ((( the most after the harem....very sorry. They were under restoration. Of course, no one notifies about this at the checkout.
There are a lot of people even out of season. Groups of foreign tourists crowd the narrow corridors of the palace, even in the morning.

Topkapi Palace, a very large and cozy palace with a history of several centuries.Several Sultans of the Ottoman Empire lived here.
We have long wanted to visit Istanbul with our wife.
We stayed in a hotel next to the Aisofia and Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque).
Our dream has come true, we really enjoyed our trip around Istanbul.
I think we'll come back again, so we left a few places where we didn't have time to visit.
To live your life and not be in Istanbul, I think it's a sin!!!

The palace was disappointed. The territory is huge, you can walk and visit everything for half a day, but: crowds, there are no CROWDS of tourists.
The rooms of the palace are quite empty, most often just bare walls, you walk through empty rooms and look at how the sultan or his wives lived. Expositions are set up in some rooms. For example, dishes of the sultan, orders of the Sultan, caftans of the Sultan, etc.
In general, the palace, in my opinion, does not justify its price at all. I got much more impressions and pleasure from the Dolmbahce palace.
