About this experience
Dolmabahce Palace, the final residence of the Ottoman Sultans, showcases a blend of Ottoman and European architectural styles. Lavishly decorated with crystal and gold accents, including 14 tonnes of gold gilding the ceilings, the Palace now serves as a museum along the Bosphorus Strait. Explore its grandeur by visiting the Medhal Hall, Audience Hall, and Muayede Hall, and take a glimpse into the harem, where members of the royal family once resided.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket, or is a mobile ticket accepted?
A mobile ticket displayed on your phone is accepted at the entrance. Printing is not required, though you may bring a printout if you prefer.
What is the difference between the standard ticket and the harem ticket?
The standard admission covers the main ceremonial halls — including the Medhal, Audience, and Muayede halls. The harem ticket adds access to the private residential quarters of the royal family, which are in a separate wing of the palace.
Are children free?
Children under 6 years old enter free of charge. They must be accompanied by an adult, and staff may ask to see a valid passport or ID to confirm the child's age.
What time does the palace close, and when is last admission?
Opening hours vary by season. Last admission is 30 minutes before closing time. Check the official Dolmabahçe Palace website for current hours before your visit.
Is the palace accessible for visitors with mobility needs?
The palace is a historic building with multiple floors and grand staircases. Accessibility may be limited in certain sections. We recommend contacting the palace directly for the most up-to-date accessibility information.
