It's a good hotel, but there was construction work at the entrance, and it took half an hour to get a taxi to the airport, which is the only negative. Otherwise, I liked everything.

The most expensive museum in Istanbul (5,000 rubles per ticket) and at the same time, it "does not work out" for this amount. The audio guide is very bad, the Harem is for a fee, and the museum itself can be bypassed and viewed in an hour. Very overrated.

A large and interesting museum, you can spend half a day with interest. The harem is a bit boring, there are a lot of empty identical rooms. A lot of people.

The Hermitage of Istanbul.
It is worth going if the price of an entrance ticket to the territory of the palace complex does not bother. About 5,200 rubles.

Of course, history and so on is good. But we would all mostly like moments from a magnificent century. The chambers of Hurrem and Sultan are closed to the public. There is no furniture anywhere. At least the props would have been left out of the series. There's nothing to watch on the show. You walk for 3-4 hours without doing anything and look at the walls and ceiling. That's it, as it were. There is nothing to do here for fans of the series.

A beautiful palace!!A storehouse of history and beauty!!!I want to learn more and more about him after watching it!!! I would like another cafe to be set up on the territory, or coffee machines to relax and keep warm! Audio guides need to be checked, there is no information in Russian at some points. You need to attach strings to the audio guides (they are in the form of a mobile phone). to hang it around your neck and not be afraid to drop it!!!

In principle, there is a lot to see for fans of TV series in the likeness of the Magnificent Century. But an entrance ticket worth 4,000 rubles does not justify its cost 100%.

It's an amazing place, especially for fans of the Magnificent Century series!
Price per person 1,700 liras (December 2024)
We started with the harem, we didn't take the audio guide because we forgot our passport (you can download the QR code from the ticket application, which will have the same audio guide, only on your phone, listened through headphones), in my opinion, there was little information.
I advise you to go straight to the harem, it would seem that we went everywhere quickly- but we spent a whole hour in it. The harem has a cold atmosphere, but I really liked the courtyard energetically (plus it was a sunny day))) I advise everyone!

At 13:00 in the afternoon, there were already very long queues. The entrance is not cheap 1700 Turkish lira, they paid with a card and wrote off 5400 rubles of the Russian Federation!

I went there and fell in love at first sight. A must-visit, although very expensive. I was on August 23, the queues are certainly large for tickets and an audio guide (for free when buying a ticket with a harem), a harem is 40 percent beauty, so don't spare the money, go!
It's nice to immerse yourself in Ottoman history! Those who watched the magnificent century in triplets are more interesting and exciting. To see their gardens, numerous rooms, balconies, courtyards is wonderful! Even the crowds of people and queues at some rooms and museums did not spoil the experience! I definitely recommend it!

It is not necessary to put little time into planning a visit. It is better to inspect without haste, because there is a lot.

a very beautiful and magnificent museum in everything. Here you can really walk from morning to evening. My wife and I came here for two days - sometimes just to the museum, then to the church of Irina, then to the harem, then to the archaeological museum. As a result, there is a sea, even an ocean, of impressions. I'm not talking about all the photos that were taken on the territory of this museum. Crowds of people certainly interfere with a few, but they also wanted to see the whole museum. Be sure to come back next time and take a walk in the museum.

Six hours was not enough for me to inspect everything. I left Topkapi only because my group of friends was waiting for me in a cafe. An extraordinary place, no more than a thousand and a half lire spent on a ticket. With this ticket, you can explore Topkapi with a harem and Aya Irina. Be sure to take an audio guide - without it, I definitely would not have known that I saw the staff of Moses, the footprint of the Prophet Muhammad and many other interesting things. The story is in every stone

The entrance ticket to the harem is very expensive+Top caps + Aya Irina costs 1,700 liras (October 2024) In fact, it's like our Kremlin, only 5 times more expensive. If you are not fans of Turkish TV series, then there is no point in going. There are a lot of people, nothing is clear. We took an audio guide (for free, but a passport or 100 bucks as a deposit), but the audio guide told half of the halls in Turkish. And in general, there were difficulties with him. So if you want to look, go ahead. There is nothing to do there for general development.

The price bites hard - 2000 lire per person, where the price includes an audio guide (you must leave your passport to use it)
I'll rate the location at 3 out of 5 because something bigger and more secret was expected (the Sultan's room, etc.), but in fact we got corridors, kitchens and hammams with toilets. Yes, some reception rooms and a library are available for the show....but in the Sultan's largest castle, I would like to see his rooms, which would show the life of the ruler. I was impressed (and appreciated) by the significant and rich items and decorations.
There is a staff of Moses, a footprint of Muhammad, an exhibition of luxurious kitchen utensils, vases, clothes, shoes, very chic women's jewelry - that's what impressed
