For three years we tried to get into this palace, but it was under restoration. And now, finally, it is open to the public. This is a whole complex of buildings with a large garden and a pond. Everything is very nice and fresh. Although some of the rooms are an absolute novelty. According to our feelings, most of the furniture has been moved from the Museum of the Palace Collections, which we visited earlier. There are a lot of caretakers in the museum, they are very attentive. It is forbidden to take photos indoors. Tickets are not cheap, as in all Istanbul state museums. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the metro station of the same name. It is difficult to find a taxi at the palace, the palace is not very popular with tourists.

Beautiful palace complex. There is a luxurious garden with gazebos, a pond and even waterfalls. Yildiz was the last refuge of the sultan and his family in the 19th century, so the luxury of palace life was preserved here, unlike Dolmabahce, which found the time of the Revolution and the rule of Ataturk. There are pavilions with small museums around the perimeter - a harem, a library, a greenhouse, in general, everything that made up the daily routine of the rulers. In front of the palace there is a beautiful mosque in the Gothic style, which, by the way, is in operation. A big advantage of visiting Yildiz is the opportunity to buy a ticket at the same time as the right to visit Dolmabahce. The downside is that you can't take pictures anywhere, but if you're careful and unobtrusive, you can. In general, I recommend you to visit.
