Experience Turkey through a sultan's eyes at one of Istanbul's most significant museums, the Topkapi Palace. The Topkapi Museum is the only place you can see the Ottoman-style architecture blending with Islamic influence, and learn how the palace came to be a symbol of Turkey's transformation from a feudal society into a mighty empire.
Sultans walked the halls of Topkapi Palace for over 400 years, and it's in these rooms that social events and administrative policies shaped the very development of Turkish civilization.
You might need all day to really dive deep into everything on offer at the Topkapi Museum. Soak up the culture and Turkish pride as you walk through the grand Imperial Gate, onto the landscaped First Courtyard, and into the magnificent Gate of Salutation to the Second Courtyard. It was in this very spot that Sultan Selim III oversaw state functions and ceremonial assemblies.
See the Topkapi Museum and its treasury, bathhouses, armory, and harem and feel the imperial charm of halls and royal chambers.
