Overview

Visit the beautiful Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul without waiting in the long ticket lines. This ticket lets you quickly enter the grand ceremonial rooms, the private Harem living areas, and the palace gardens.

As you walk through the stunning rooms, you can listen to an audio guide available in ten different languages. The guide shares interesting stories about the sultans who lived there and the grand events held in the large halls.
