Dolmabahce Palace Ticket

+5 photos
Discover the breathtaking beauty and grandeur of Dolmabahçe Palace, one of Istanbul’s most magnificent landmarks, located right on the shimmering shores of the Bosphorus. Once the residence of Ottoman sultans and the administrative center of the empire, this palace is a stunning blend of European elegance and Ottoman tradition. Inside, travelers are transported into a world of royal opulence—featuring crystal chandeliers (including the world’s largest Bohemian crystal chandelier), sweeping marble staircases, gold-leaf ceilings, and richly furnished halls. Walk through over 285 lavish rooms, explore the private quarters of the royal Harem, and stand in the historic room where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, spent his final days. Outside, the palace gardens offer peaceful strolls with spectacular views of the Bosphorus, framed by ornate gates and the elegant Dolmabahçe Clock Tower.
