The place is just so glorious and loaded with history!! Logistically, it is very well managed, though very long lines to get through the security lines and the ticket purchasing one and the audio kit… Full review by OumAya101

Beautiful palace, but crowded, queues everywhere. No cafe or restaurant we could find once you go through main gates. Plus massively over priced. Just not sure I would have bothered had I known. Full review by McPizza51

I was told this was one of the top 3 places to visit in Istanbul and I think that's a fair assessment. It's a mix of historic site and museum. Very well refurbished and you could spend a whole day … Full review by 204BenW
Hi guys, I am planning to go to Topkapi palace on a Sunday as I have very little time, is it better to go in the morning? How about evening to avoid the crowds? Thanks!

It was very busy mid day October, so either really. I know we are fascinated in both history and culture but it took us 6 hours. Allow yourself as much time as possible. The Harem was well worth a visit too.
Can someone who visited Topkapi recently advice of the ticket pricing please. It mentions Topkapi alone as TL700 and Harem TL500 but a combined ticket as TL1500. Can we buy individual tickets or the only option is to buy the combo at TL1500?

Hi Kathy. We were there about a month ago. We just got the tickets for Topkapi separately. Depending on where else in Turkey you are going see if the museum pass will work for you. We’ve been here a month and various sites have cost us a fortune BUT lots of things aren’t included in the pass.
Can somebody please tell me how much is ticket for palace +harem part? No guide, no nothing, just a plane ticket. I keep finding some crazy prices online, and I cant belive is that expensive. Im not turkish(i found that they pay 200tl and foreigners 950tl?! )
A:
I had visited in last January and paid 500 TL per person only for Topkapi palace, not for Harem.
Does the Museum pass include the harem or only the Topkapi palace grounds?

Hi we didn't have a museum passso I cannot really answer re: skipping the line. The combined TKT is available at the gate. We didn't have to queue as we got there at 9am when it opened ( Def get there early even if you can skip a queue as it fills up quite quickly) Hope that helps
