An interesting look at the old imperial palace. Do the tour with the Istanbul pass and learn about the palace and the history

Long walk to the palace but worth the uphill walk. Allow at least 2-3 hours due to queues and the size of the palace

A huge palace and pretty spectacular. As a bonus there is a small museum housing many Islamic relics, such as the first key to the Kaaba. There is also a little booth there where an imam reads the Quran out loud. If you've ever wondered where that voice comes from now is the chance to see it for free. Arrive before 9:30am to avoid long queues at the ticket office.

3 hrs min. Ideally a day required.
