    Honestly there was no line, very smooth entry on the right side of the building. Be aware that downstairs is not allowed for tourists. Don't confuse the entrance. The security made sure that people didn't block the passages. We came with our baby, on a carrier because strollers are not allowed indeed. So plan ahead. All in all we enjoyed it.

    Visiting the Basilica Cistern was one of the highlights of our time in Istanbul. The experience was truly impressive from the moment we stepped inside. Walking through the massive underground space, surrounded by beautifully lit columns and reflections in the water, feels almost magical. The atmosphere is unique and very different from anything else in the city. One of the best parts was that we were able to enter without waiting in line, which made the visit even more enjoyable and relaxed. Once inside, you can take your time exploring, appreciating the architecture, and seeing details like the famous Medusa head columns. It’s an incredible historical place and absolutely worth visiting. Highly recommended for anyone coming to Istanbul.

    Visiting Dolmabahçe Palace was a wonderful experience, with its majestic grandeur, numerous rooms, enormous and beautifully furnished halls, and sumptuous reception rooms. The gardens are well-maintained, and the view of the Bosphorus is breathtaking—the perfect spot for taking truly stunning photos. In short, it’s a must-see; the price is admittedly a bit high, but it’s well worth it.
