#Dolmabahçe Palace Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Simply Regal! ✨
Visiting the Dolmabahçe Palace was the highlight of my trip to Istanbul. It felt as if I had gotten into a time machine and stepped foot into the presence of royalty. The palace gates were MASSIVE and beautifully crafted. The courtyard felt familiar as it looked like something depicted in a movie. But to walk into the actual palace was a surreal moment. It wasn’t a place that was built to be a replica of what used to be, but this was the actual living quarters of where the Ottoman Sultans once ruled. To say that the palace is beautiful would be an absolute understatement. I don’t know that my vocabulary is advanced enough to effectively describe the intricate detail of the inside of this estate. Photos and videos could not possibly capture the effortless beauty of what lied before me. I was in complete awe. I stopped and stared several times in order to take in all that my eyes were witnessing. In my travels in other European countries, I’ve seen many beautiful hand-painted ceilings, but the detail in this place won me over by far. From the carvings in the pillars to the elaborate chandeliers, I literally couldn’t believe my eyes.
Needless to say, if you’re ever in Istanbul, make sure you go see the exquisite beauty of the Dolmabahçe Palace for yourself.

Place to visit in Istanbul: Dolmabahçe Palace
Dolmabahçe Palace was ordered by the Empire's 31st Sultan, Abdülmecid I, and built between the years 1843 and 1856. Previously, the Sultan and his family had lived at the Topkapı Palace, but as the medieval Topkapı was lacking in contemporary style, luxury, and comfort, as compared to the palaces of the European monarchs, Abdülmecid decided to build a new modern palace near the site of the former Beşiktaş Sahil Palace, which was demolished.
The palace was home to six Sultans from 1856, when it was first inhabited, up until the abolition of the Caliphate in 1924: The last royal to live here was Caliph Abdülmecid Efendi.

On my second day in Istanbul
Bathed in the early morning light, I started my second day of sightseeing~
Dolmabahçe Palace, Istanbul's new palace, is currently used as a place for leaders to receive distinguished guests~ It was built with tons of gold and silver, creating a luxurious palace~ What I liked most inside were the various crystal chandeliers, they are really beautiful. However, photography is not allowed📷 so I didn't take many pictures of the interior~
Saat Kule Cafe, right at the exit of the new palace, there's a cafe where you can have brunch~ Situated by the strait, the view is beautiful~
Galata Bridge, go see this bridge that spans the Golden Horn Bay, which has rich historical and cultural significance~ You'll find many fishermen fishing densely on the bridge🎣 Below the bridge, there are many seafood restaurants, choosing one to taste is a good choice👍
Golden Horn Bay, in the afternoon rent a boat, we spent 200 US dollars, it was rented by our guide, the boat is very new, the whole trip lasted 1 and a half hours, we toured the Bosphorus Strait and saw the full view of the Eurasian continental bridge, very beautiful 🤩
Galata Tower, after the boat ride, climb up the Galata Tower to overlook the entire Eurasian continent
İstiklal Avenue, in the evening go to İstiklal Avenue to eat some Turkish🇹🇷 barbecue, experience one of the busiest streets in the world, watch the red tram, a perfect day!
Dolmabahçe Palace
#istanbultrip We visited Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul today and it was an unforgettable experience. It costs 650 Lira to enter and you can buy tickets at the entrance. There were no queues when we visited so it was easy getting in. The blend of Ottoman and European architectural styles of the palace creates a uniquely majestic ambiance. Inside, the lavish decorations, stunning crystal chandeliers, and intricate gold leaf details bring ottoman living to life. The palace is where Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, spent his last days so it has that historic significance. The palace's gardens are well manicured, with the Bosphorus providing an amazing backdrop.
I would have given it 5 stars, but they're not allowing photography inside except a few selected rooms which was disappointing given the ticket costs almost the same as Topkapi palace where photography is allowed.

#istanbultrip
The prettiest must-to-visit place in Istanbul. Take the tram T1 line to Kabatas station. The palace is only 4 minutes walking from the station. I suggest you to come early in the morning to avoid the crowd. It opens at 9 in the morning and costs you around 650TL.
Note that you are not allowed to take any pictures inside the palace. You must cover your shoes before getting in or taking them off.
Dolmabahce Palace
#istanbultrip It’s a tourist destination that you could not miss. The architectures are beautiful but the interior is a little shabby. You have to bring your passport or ID to get a free audio. The ticket price for foreigners is ten times the price for Turkish citizens. However, you are not permitted to take even a photo of the interior. I don’t think it’s worth the ticket price.

Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul has just been experienced, a royal procession through Ottoman splendor. Located on the Bosphorus, the location's view is simply breathtaking. The highlight, for me at least, was the Crystal Staircase--a wonder of architecture that ushers you into a world where splendor knows no bounds. The spacious rooms, chandeliers and exquisite detailing take you back to an earlier age. After the palace, take a Bosphorus cruise for some perspective or explore nearby Beşiktaş with local flavor. ⛴️🍚 Not to be missed by history buffs, nor those captivated by Istanbul's imperial legacy! 👑 #traveladdict #Istanbul

if you didn't visit this palace when you visited Istanbul then you didn't see history
The Dolmbahce Palace is located in the European part of the West Bank of the Bosphorus. It was built in 1843 and was designed by the French Grand Theatre. It was built by Armenian architects and has the traditional character of the Ottoman Palace. In addition to the preserved lobby in the middle of the room, the rooms surrounding the interior are of Turkish architecture, with a Baroque look and a new Rococo and neo-classical Western architecture. With a total of 285 rooms, 44 halls, 68 toilets and 6 hammams, it is the largest single-building palace in Turkey.
All things in the palace are original, not fake, the furniture is painted in bright white, gold-plated pillar marble, bottles are from France, ivory, gold products are all eyes, treasures are dizzying. The palace has the world's largest crystal chandelier, weighing 4,500 kilograms, crystal from the United Kingdom, 60 feet, and a crystal staircase. The last six emperors of the
Ottoman Empire lived here and were known as the New Royal Palace. This period is the decline of the Ottoman Empire. The extreme luxury inside the palace is in stark contrast to the decline of national power.
When the British army occupied Istanbul, the King of Turkey did not fight before he surrendered, so he could keep the palace intact. The
room basically does not allow any form of photo taking, so only the outside is taken.
Dolmabahce Sarayi is located in the European part of the west coast of the Bosphorus. It stretches over 600 meters and was built in 1843. It was completed in 1856. Doma Bae means garden made by reclamation Also known as the New Palace. It is a typical Baroque building, from the inside out, exuding a strong European style. The last Sultan of the Ottoman Empire once lived here, and it also witnessed the decline of the Ottoman Empire.
Entering the palace, the first thing that catches the eye is the flashy local gold and the bilinbilin crystal chandelier. It is said that this is the world's second-largest 4.5-ton crystal chandelier in the world. Because of this crystal chandelier, the new palace of Doma Bache is also known as the Crystal Palace. Speaking of this crystal lamp, there is another story: Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom gave the world's largest crystal lamp to the Ottoman Empire, and felt that Britain did not have the world's first crystal lamp and regretted it, so ordered to reproduce a weight of 5 Tons of crystal lamps, took the first one back.
In addition to the clock made by the turtle shell, the traditional Turkish bathroom that can radiate heat from the bottom up, outside the gold ceiling, the most amazing thing here is the carpet in the hall, 100 square meters of handmade carpet, less than one square meter. There are tens of thousands of handmade carpets, and how much is such a huge value. Going outside the building is a beautiful courtyard, thinking that this is a rectangular building. I didn't expect it to be a corner of various shapes. The shoes were wet and wet in the snow.
Doma Bache means garden made by reclamation. This period is the decline of the Ottoman Empire. The extreme luxury inside the palace is in stark contrast to the decline of national power. In order to build the Doma Bache Palace, the Ottoman dynasty invested a lot of money and owed a large amount of external debt. The new palace cost a billion mark, and the decorations, including the curtains, are sent by the royal families of the world. The palace is extremely luxurious and the interior treasures are dizzying.
##, also called the new palace, you can't take pictures inside, and you should wear a shoe cover when you go in.
The Royal Palace is on the shore of the Bosphorus, so the rear view is beautiful.
The building in the palace is baroque in style, full of dramatic style and extravagant.
Each area in the entire palace is guided by a responsible tour of each part. At the same time, you will be able to monitor if you can't take pictures. If you are free, just listen to a group and listen.
Have time to remember to go to the part of Selek, there is a majestic deliberation hall, crystal, bear skin, elephant teeth are bright and bright, magnificent.
In addition to this, there are Roman baths in the palace, all made of marble, and there are many extravagant rooms and halls.
