A closer look

Dolmabahçe is the Ottoman dynasty’s nineteenth-century palace on the Bosphorus. Admission arrangements for the Selamlık, Harem and neighbouring museum sections should be considered together.

 

 Build your itinerary around the sections included in your ticket. Looking at the exterior and waterfront setting before the interiors helps explain the palace’s relationship with the city. A walk in Beşiktaş can form a separate part of the day.
