Highlights of Topkapi Palace in Istanbul

Built between 1460-1478 CE by Mehmet II, the Ottoman sultan who conquered Constantinople and renamed it Istanbul, the palace served as a sprawling home and administrative center.
The Topkapi Palace is one of the finest examples of both Ottoman and imperial architecture, with many different sections to explore.
From the extravagant Sultanahmet Mosques to the opulent harem, this UNESCO site recognizes both Ottoman culture and Turkish identity.
This imperial palace and its sprawling gardens occupy a prominent position on the Golden Horn and are one of Istanbul’s most popular tourist attractions.
The palace’s architectural style aims to bring together different styles and cultures in harmonious unity.
Many rooms are lavishly decorated with gilded ceilings, marble floors, and silk wall coverings; others are more austerely furnished.
There is a delightful fountain the Ahmet Cesmesi (Fountain of Ahmed III) at the great square in front of the Imperial Gate of Topkapi Palace.

Insider Tips

Do Not Book a Tuesday: The palace is closed every Tuesday and the box office queue passes an hour on summer afternoons. Book another day and be at the Fountain of Ahmed III meeting point for the 9 AM opening.
Sort Out the Harem Early: The Harem and Hagia Irene have their own tickets, sold only at the counters inside. If your package excludes the Harem, buy it at the office inside before going further in.
Head for the Third Courtyard First: The Imperial Treasury and the Chamber of Sacred Relics have their own queues, reaching an hour by midday. See them first, then work back through the kitchens.
Bring Earphones: Neither the audio guide app nor the loaned device comes with headphones, and the device holds your passport as a deposit. Use the app on your own phone with wired earphones.
Eat Before You Enter: The halls are not air conditioned and there is no re-entry. Eat first, carry water and wear shoes for three hours on cobbles.

FAQs

Is Topkapi Palace open every day?

No. The palace and the Harem are closed on Tuesdays all year, so choose any other day when you book. On open days the gates open at 9 AM and the last tickets are issued in the late afternoon.
Is the Harem included in the ticket?

It depends on the package. The standard fast-track ticket covers the palace courtyards and museum halls but not the Harem, which is a separately ticketed section; the guided tour package on this page includes it. Harem tickets can otherwise be bought at the counters inside the palace.
How can I get skip-the-line tickets for Topkapi Palace?

Every package on this page is a skip-the-ticket-line entry: you show the mobile voucher at the gate instead of queuing at the palace box office, which runs past an hour in summer. Everyone still passes through the security screening at the Imperial Gate.
