I am very happy that I visited Topkapi. Come right to the opening, because then there will be a lot of people. There is beauty and grandeur inside.

A large beautiful palace with a long history, everything pleases the eye, it is clear that many things are well maintained and restored. The best time to visit since the beginning of the opening, there are practically no people and you can admire the beauty without prying eyes, was at the end of November. For such beauty, the price tag is more than humane.

History was made in this palace. Impressed by the place!
I didn't like the audio guide. They give out a simple smartphone with an application. There is too much music in the stories "and now listen to such and such a work by such and such an author, which is so and so" and the composition starts for 3 minutes out of 4 allotted to the story about a specific point. The application really lacks a map with a built route or route options. The tour number is not indicated everywhere at the entrance to the new zone. In the current format, the walk is chaotic.

5100 for visiting the palace and numerous queues in each room.. Everyone can choose on their own whether to go or not.. In my opinion, you can not visit, instead you can go to Beylerbey, the cost is 1200 rubles, although in November the exterior facade is hidden, under restoration, but inside you can also get acquainted with the decoration of the palace.

A stunning palace and, of course, a grandiose monument of the great era of the Ottoman Empire. This monument of architecture and history will not leave anyone indifferent and will give you a lot of unforgettable impressions, plunging headlong into the atmosphere of the era of the great sultans. If you look at the palace, then this one, the later ones, of course, no longer reflect the identity of the Ottomans and have too Europeanized style.

Everything is old, of course recognizable by the cult series. But up close, of course, it's not as lush as I thought. Original or authentic original buildings, ponds, lawns. I recommend the sultan's summer houses and be sure to take a look at the royal treasury. The size of the jewels is amazing. It is not likely that sultans and their wives or anyone else decorated themselves with all this. Entrance is paid, but I assure you, it's worth seeing and feeling something.

Impressive. I advise you to pay special attention to the treasury. The personal belongings of the Prophet Muhammad make a touching impression.

It's a terrible place for that kind of money. Even his story didn't save him. There are many empty rooms. Unfortunately, the harem was not impressed. We won't go there a second time((

A huge territory with various thematic content.
A mixture of museum expositions and the historical sites themselves.
It is worth looking around carefully - you should not throw a coin "for memory" into the fountain of tears, a twofold memory.

It's very big, you have to come in early, after a lot of people. It takes several hours, more than 3 hours, and preferably with a guide. The audio guide is a bit boring.

A unique piece of architecture! Greatness is fascinating. However, there are disadvantages: in the audio guide, the explanation is not always given in the language in which the guide was taken. So half of my information was in Polish, I think. There are no other disadvantages, except for the huge crowd)

There are more disadvantages, on weekends and holidays and good weather, queues everywhere on the territory starting from the ticket offices and a lot of people, just a lot. There are audio guides, maps of the world and dollars, they do not take euros, only lira. About 40 euros per person. And the crush!!!

Entry for June 2024 cost 1,500 TL, which is a lot.
But if you still accept it and go, then you will not regret it. Firstly, the volume is impressive, you can walk at least all day. Secondly, the truth is surprising, a real immersion in the eastern Ottoman culture through clothes, interiors and jewelry. And finally, great views of Istanbul and the strait. I recommend

Let's start writing an HONEST review.
Positive :
-a gorgeous and beautiful historical place!
- Fans of the Magnificent Century series will definitely like the history of these places.
- Clean compared to the city.
-everything is guarded and safe
-free audio guide.
Minuses :
-The audio guide is just an old speakerphone. No headphones, etc.
- IT'S IMPORTANT! Everything closes at 13:00
Be sure to come at 9-10 am! Otherwise, you'll just spend the money. A lot of people were not warned about this and came in after 12 and did not have time to go anywhere. They tried to return the money (I don't know the outcome?)
. You shouldn't take a ticket to St. Irene. There's only one room and the walls are just bare.
Tip: people don't understand how they defend queues. So just go ahead :)
Don't buy a combo ticket to three places. But separately. Audio guide it is better to order a person because the audio is terrible)
Well, you definitely need to come at 9-10 in the morning

It was very interesting to watch after the Magnificent Century series.
I recommend it to those who are familiar with this series, it's always more interesting in reality.

Very beautiful, big. It causes mixed feelings after visiting the palace. Jewelry and personal belongings of Sultans and concubines are collected here. An entrance ticket in September 2024 costs 1,700 lira or $50. The audio guide is primitive, there is practically no information, it is distracting, you need to leave your passport as a deposit to receive it.

A wonderful place for walking, half-day excursions for sure! You won't notice how time flies by. The only thing that is not very good is huge queues, at the cash register, on the territory, inside, to go in to see how the sultans lived, you will also have to stand in line. But the place is worth queuing up and visiting!

Clearly an overrated attraction. They paid 1,700 liras for a visit in October 2024. Most of the exposition is ordinary objects, you can look at a million cups and spoons, but almost nowhere will you be shown the interiors, the harem is entirely empty rooms. The information in the audio guide is very scarce and not interesting for such money, and the badges with numbers are not everywhere, I found out about some of them only by accidentally finding a map of the palace on the Internet.

An incredibly beautiful place with its own special atmosphere and a wonderful view of the Bosphorus. Come to the opening (10:00) to enjoy the silence, by 11:00 there are already crowds of tourists here. I bought a single ticket (palace and harem) for 950 lire, but I could do with a ticket for 750 lire, since the harem is certainly beautiful, but it is not obligatory to visit at all. It took about 2.5 hours to walk around the entire complex, during which time I visited all the main objects and almost all the exhibitions.

Expensive. 8000rubles for two people for admission. There are huge queues every day. Yes, there is a lot of historical value, but it seems that entrance to the Louvre is cheaper. There are also long queues for individual exhibits and facilities inside the territory. In general, it is cheaper and more pleasant to go to the archaeological museum nearby than there.

It is definitely worth visiting, the place is iconic and epic. We were in August, the ticket cost 1500 rubles / check for an adult (about 5 rubles), a 10-year-old child, in my opinion 250 rubles (with a child's ticket up to 8 years old, it seems, and with a birth certificate, but somehow we were lucky, apparently the cashier got such a one). The queue is large, but only at first glance: there are a lot of ticket offices and they move quickly, they passed in just 5 minutes. But further, closer to the entrance, the queue for a free guide (a simple smartphone without headphones) already lasted 20-30 minutes. You can get it in exchange for a passport / 100 $ or € / 2000lir, I gave different money)) When you leave the complex, first there is a separate window to exchange back, quickly. The complex itself is large, there are many objects, it is interesting to get around with breaks of about 2.5-3 hours. There are no cafes, there is nowhere to eat and buy water too, so do not forget to take it with you. Well, they don't need to be here. It's probably better to come in the morning, we arrived at 12.00, there were already a lot of people, and when we left it became even more, apparently the peak, when everyone comes, is lunchtime.
I took off the star for the price, now it seems to have grown even more, well, where to look at whales ... but the audio guide will not give complete information (at first it still has some kind, but then, more than half of the objects, there was no information or in another language and we just walked and stared). And you have to go here either with a guide or as part of an excursion, then I'm sure it will be much more interesting and informative, but it's even more expensive…

It was incredibly interesting to plunge into the atmosphere of the Ottoman Empire. He especially responds after watching the TV series "The Magnificent Century". The ticket is expensive, fifteen hundred lire for adult visitors. We went with the children. Gorgeous views of the Bosphorus.

It's a wonderful place. It's nice to touch the story. The sensational TV series "Magnificent Century" was not filmed here, they built the same scenery. The entrance for foreigners is 1,500 lire (for locals 250 lire), it includes the Topkapi Palace, the Harem and the former St. Peter's Church.Irina. Expect to spend 3-4 hours on a visit.

The entrance costs 1,500 lire, which is so expensive for me.
A beautiful territory, a palace, many exhibits of clothes and weapons are presented.
It is necessary to lay 3-4 hours for a visit.

It's worth a visit if you're in Istanbul, but the entrance price is very biting. At the same time, it is difficult to figure out where everything is without a guide. We only went into the harem- I wonder if you're a fan of the TV series "Magnificent Century". There are many buildings on the territory itself and a beautiful view of the Bosphorus.
