Ottoman Royalty at Topkapi Palace

Topkapi Palace, built in the 15th century, was the official residence of the Ottoman sultans for over 400 years. With skip-the-line tickets, bypass the long queues and explore the vast palace with your guide. Explore different areas like the Treasury, which houses some of the most valuable artifacts from the Ottoman Empire. The Imperial Council Chamber, with distinctive Ottoman domes and intricately designed Kütahya tiles lining the walls, is another must-see attraction. Spectacular views of the Bosphorus Strait and the city of Istanbul from the palace's gardens and courtyards make for a picture-perfect scenery.

Enveloped in a Dreamy Blue Glow

As you enter the spacious courtyard of the mosque, you will be greeted by a beautiful fountain and a special area for ablution. The lower levels and interior walls of the mosque are adorned with over 20,000 handmade İznik-style blue ceramic tiles. The mosque is steeped in the rich history and secrets of the Ottoman Empire, dating back to its opening in 1616. Marvel at the stunning crystal chandeliers and observe the clever use of ostrich eggs within them. These eggs serve the purpose of keeping away spiders and preventing cobwebs from forming inside the mosque.
