This product combines Topkapı Palace and Harem tickets with a historical introduction and entry assistance from an English-speaking host. Meet your host near the palace's outer walls and walk together for about 10 minutes, hearing about the Ottoman Empire, the palace and the sultans who lived there. After skipping the ticket line with your host's help, explore the courtyards, gardens, Imperial Treasury, Sacred Relics and the Harem at your own pace.

Meet your host at the meeting point near the outer walls of Topkapı Palace in Sultanahmet. The meeting point is not at the main ticket office but near the outer walls, where the historical introduction begins. From here, walk together for about 10 minutes to the palace entrance while hearing about the Ottoman Empire, the palace and its walls, and the sultans who lived here.

At the entrance, your host helps you skip the ticket line. Mandatory security checks cannot be skipped. The host's introduction and entry assistance take about 15 to 20 minutes in total, and the host service ends once you are inside.

Once inside, explore Topkapı Palace and the Harem at your own pace, including the courtyards, gardens, ceremonial spaces, Imperial Treasury, Sacred Relics and the Harem. This is not a full guided tour of the palace interior.
※ An audio guide is not included as standard.
※ A guided tour inside the palace may be offered on site for €10 per person depending on availability (paid separately).
