Experience Topkapi Palace Day Trips & Sightseeing Tours

Topkapi Palace was the primary residence of the Ottoman sultans for nearly 400 years. Hundreds of rooms and chambers comprise the palace complex, which was once home to as many as 4,000 people. Among the collection of Ottoman relics housed in the palace are porcelain, robes, weapons, shields, armor, Ottoman miniatures, calligraphic manuscripts and murals, many of which can now be viewed as part of the museum's permanent exhibit in the Imperial Treasury. Other areas of exceptional beauty include the Imperial Hall, Apartments of the Queen Mother, and the Privy Chamber of Murat III.
