Give your visit some room
The palace is closed on Mondays and on a few public and religious holidays. Keep your date, entry time and booking details easy to find, and arrive a little early.
Bring the essentials
The visit covers long corridors and staircases. Comfortable shoes and a charged phone make the day easier; follow the staff’s guidance on photography inside.
A quieter way to look
Pause in the gardens after the rooms. The view across the Bosphorus changes with the light and the passing ships.
