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.

An incredibly beautiful place! We visited the palace with an excursion - it is very beautiful, there are many rooms, you will get tired of walking. I definitely recommend you to visit. Outside there is a large garden and a very beautiful area. Everything is well maintained, there are several cafes where you can drink coffee and have a good meal. My favorite place in Istanbul.

The Dolmabahce Palace of the Ottoman Sultans was built in 1853, in my opinion the most luxurious and "modern" of all the palaces of the sultans in the Ottoman Empire.
The special charm of this palace is given by its location very close to the water... Due to this, the photos become fantastic.
Be sure to take an audio guide. Without it, you will lose a lot of information.
It took us about 4 hours to walk through the entire palace with all the chambers.
There is a great cafe on site
P.S. The crystal staircase deserves special attention...

A very beautiful and picturesque place, there is a small cafe where you can sit down and order drinks to watch the peacocks, you can just sit quietly and calmly on a bench and relax, the entrance is paid on 09/24/2024 50TL was given for two, but even despite the paid entrance, I advise you to visit!

It's hard to convey the beauty of this place in words — it's better to see it with your own eyes! A walk through the territory fills with inspiration and immerses in the atmosphere of the Ottoman era. Every corner here is imbued with history and splendor, and the architecture delights with its sophistication.
Do not miss the opportunity to enjoy this unique atmosphere — it will leave an indelible impression and give a lot of positive emotions!

The palace outside is really very beautiful. There are impressive halls inside too. In January 2025, it was partially under reconstruction. The art gallery is quite diverse, the largest hall is dedicated to Aivazovsky. There is nothing to do in the harem building). But

An inspection of the museum is included when buying a package ticket. The art gallery is located on two floors, a large hall with paintings by Aivazovsky. We liked all the paintings, which is quite rare. Portraits, historical subjects, and still lifes are presented. The interiors are also very beautiful. Photography is not allowed, as in all buildings of the complex.

The palace where the Sultan lived. Very beautiful. Luxury. Beautiful and well maintained park. Walking through the palace, you immerse yourself in history, vividly imagine that you walk the same corridors as the Sultan and his family. You look in the same mirrors.. You can get a free audio guide in Russian.

An excellent museum, the interiors have been restored with high quality, the rooms are filled with furniture and objects of the Sultan's circumvention, but you need to adjust the time of the visit, you can run into a tour group of Chinese and then it will be difficult to explore everything calmly.

It's just a wonderful museum! Beautiful interior decoration. And the building is very beautiful from the outside, as well as the territory. I couldn't find where they had an art gallery, so it was snowing with rain and wind. There is a good cafe.

It is one of the palaces of the dynasty of the Ottoman sultans. It is newer than the Topkany Palace and is made in the European style. It's a very beautiful place. But it's not very cheap. There is a palace itself, a clock tower, a cafe, and a park on the territory. the Museum of Fine Arts and the greenhouse.

Of course, everything is very beautiful, but a visit costs about 3,700 rubles per person, for this money you can not be photographed and you can not even enter the rooms, you look at everything from the corridor and try to see at least something, the one who was in the Hermitage will not be particularly impressed

It is said that this is the palace that ravaged the Ottoman Empire. In general, almost the entire palace is in the European style. Gold, carpets, Murano glass. It is forbidden to take pictures, but everything is being filmed. I was puzzled by a significant number of Aivazovsky's canvases

The Dolmabahci Museum was the residence of the Turkish padishahs. Therefore, it is richly decorated, has many functional rooms, starting from the padishah's bedroom and ending with the harem. The museum is open from 9 am and, as a rule, there is a queue for entrance tickets until 10
a small one. The next step is to get a free audio guide. To do this, you need to leave your passport secured. This is an important point to consider before going to the museum. I will immediately note that there is nothing to do there without an audio guide, because all the details of the interior are connected either with history or with traditions. And just to "take a look" is to watch a silent movie without credits. A few years ago, the museum was visited by tourists with a guide in groups. Now routes have been laid, limited by fences, inside which 1-2 people can pass one after another. You won't be able to turn off the route, and you won't be able to stay for a long time either. It is strictly forbidden to take photos - security guards are watching this. The entire route takes about 1.5 hours to complete. You also need to be prepared for this - there is nowhere to sit down, you must take water. The palace has a very beautiful territory with access to the bay. There is a nice cafe on the territory, there are toilets. If you have watched the TV series "The Magnificent Century", then you will learn many of the interiors of the palace by walking through the halls - after all, many episodes were filmed here. Dolmabahci, in my opinion, is the No. 1 object when visiting Istanbul to understand the lifestyle and traditions of the Turkish rulers.

I recommend you to visit. For 650 lire (by the way, the cost is just to climb the Galata Tower), access to the palace, the sultan's palace, the harem, the art gallery is available. An audio guide is issued free of charge in different languages, there is also Russian (on bail, we left Russian rights). You can't take pictures inside the palace, but many have violated this rule. Wonderful historical heritage

If we compare it with the Hermitage, then the sultans lived simpler than the emperors! I liked the Turkish bath in which they washed, everything is thought out and cozy!
The facade and appearance are certainly impressive, and the view of the Bosphorus is simply magnificent!

My impressions were positive. After buying tickets, they handed over their passports and received an audio guide in return. Very convenient. The detailed story made me listen to the end. The interior was a bit like Peterhof, but with its own oriental flavor. Of the cons, this is a ticket. It is linked to the euro exchange rate.

A stunningly beautiful palace complex. There is a free audio guide in Russian (it is received BEFORE the main entrance, you need to leave either a document or $ 100 as collateral)
The SPM palace and harem are amazing! The interior and the details are pure luxury!
And the gate overlooking the Bosphorus is a separate love
There is a cafe on site where you can drink coffee with a pie relatively inexpensively.

It is interesting, especially in contrast with the old palaces (Topkapi).
It is better to visit on a sunny day, the gray sky does not decorate it.
