The palace is amazing and there were almost no people when I arrived (10:30am). It is huge and with the audio guide it is worth it.

The booking went quickly and smoothly. Admission without any waiting time! Great audio guide. There were no long queues in the palace, no crowds. We were able to see everything in peace and quiet. A beautiful palace that you absolutely have to see! Highly recommended!

Beside the impressive halls, It was useful to learn a bit about the country's history. I recommend to all turists to get the audio guide. I rated Good and not Awesome because we were not allowed to take pictures inside the palace.

The speed, the QR, makes everything easier. The self-guide, very complete. The Palace, very beautiful. And the possibility of entering at the time you want, or the possibility of entering another day, makes the experience a very pleasant visit. I will buy tickets from you again. Thank you.

Discover the opulence of Istanbul's Dolmabahçe Palace with the convenience of skip-the-line entry. Let a multilingual audioguide be your compass through this grand residence.
Ascend to grandeur
Begin your exploration with the Medhal Hall, once a waiting area for guests. Observe the monograms on the Boulle tables and over the fireplace. Then, ascend the majestic crystal staircase to the Ceremonial Hall, home to one of the world's largest English chandeliers.

Art and majesty
As you walk through the 285-room palace, make sure to visit the Tiled Room, which showcases the palace's largest painting. Don't miss the Red Room, where vibrant hues symbolize Ottoman power and culture, and glance at the depictions of Ottoman history and mythology.
Literary treasures & regal lives
