Beylerbeyi Palace

The palace is very beautiful. It was built as a summer residence for the Sultan. You are not allowed to take photos inside but you are provided with a free audio guide (just like at Dolmabahçe Palace). I highly recommend it especially if you enjoyed the other Palace.

I love that the audio guide is free. The fountain room is very interesting. Of course the location is also picturesque.

Another beautiful palace in Istanbul. It was very easy to get there with public transport. It was worth it to visit inside the palace and enjoy beautifully decorated interiors and find out who visited this palace. Grounds were very well kept and the place had happy and calm atmosphere. I can only imagine how much fun guests must had there in those days.nWorth visiting whilst you are in Istanbul and love history and interiors as much as I do.

One of the most beautiful, well-known and well decorated palaces of Istanbul. The interior design is so amazing and eye catching. It has some similarities in architectural design with Dolmabahce Palace. Outside of the palace you can find a cafe and restaurant in the open space of the garden.

Splendid European-style palace on the Asian shore, but stay away from the gift shop - the rudest woman in the whole of Turkey works there, she'd put any bazaari to shame!
