In-Depth Information
›
The palace is divided into two sections: the over-the-top Selâmlık and the slightly more restrained Harem. Both
are visited on compulsory - and unfortunately rushed - guided tours. If you only take one tour, make it the
Selâmlık.
›
A joint ticket for both the Selâmlık and Harem is available for 40.

Opening hours are shorter in winter. See the website for details.
Take a Break
There's a
çay bahçesi
near the clock tower with premium Bosphorus views and bargain prices (yes, really).
