Topkapi Palace Fast Track Entry

If you miss your meeting, no problem, you can just take any of the following sessions without any extra charge!



You will be given a brief orientation by a professional guide about what the Topkapi Palace was through its very long past and where to find different courtyards and galleries. Your guide will take you through the first two portal gates talking about the place and buildings while passing the first courtyard.



After security checks and entrance, there will be some more introduction about what to see inside like the council hall, arms and armory section or holy relics and more.



Then, you can just enjoy the palace at your own pace. You can enjoy a long coffee break in-between looking over a spectacular Bosphorus view or quickly finish your walk around. It is possible to walk around in an hour and then leave. Or you might stay inside for several hours with detailed observations.
