With this ticket, you can step into the heart of the empire in two different ways. You can either just skip the ticket line (Fast Track Entry) and dive into the palace, or you can join a 45-minute highlights tour.

Fast Track Entry (with Host): Meet-up times are 09:30, 11:00, 12:00, 13:30, 14:30, and 15:30. You meet the host and get straight in.

45-Min Highlights Tour (with Guide): If you want to join the tour, you can choose 10:00, 11:45, 14:00, or 15:30.

Remember, the palace is closed on Tuesdays!

Both options include the audio guide app with detailed commentary in 25 languages. (However, note that your host or guide will speak English).

As Evliya Çelebi famously said, "A more delightful residence has not been built by human art." What will you find in this structure that was home to sultans for 400 years? Weapons of the Ottoman Army, the Holy Relics Chamber (with belongings of the Prophet Muhammad, Moses's staff!), Chinese porcelain, priceless jewels...

And of course, the Harem! That special section that remained a mystery for centuries, showcasing Ottoman power with its 300+ rooms, baths, and unique tiles. Don't leave without seeing the Privy Chamber of Murad III.
