Dolmabahçe Palace is truly stunning, living up to its reputation as the New Palace. The entire palace stands by the water, with its pristine white marble architecture facing the Bosphorus Strait. Its exterior is grand and magnificent, making every photo opportunity a perfect shot. Purchasing the skip-the-line ticket saved us from long queues, allowing for smooth entry. Coupled with the audio guide, we were able to understand the historical stories behind it. Inside, the palace is opulent, with giant crystal chandeliers dazzling brightly and abundant gold decorations adding to its splendor, creating a powerful visual impact. Strolling along the corridors, one can experience the luxury of late Ottoman European court life while also enjoying views of the strait. The overall experience was excellent, the pace of the visit was comfortable, and the architectural aesthetics were impressive. It's definitely a must-visit when in Istanbul.

In Istanbul, the only places where I truly felt satisfied with what I paid were Topkapi Palace and Dolmabahçe Palace.
I would highly recommend taking your time to explore these two sites, as they are well worth it.
For other attractions, although I paid relatively high entrance fees, I personally felt that the experience did not quite match the cost. While I understand the importance of preserving history and culture, many places left me a bit underwhelmed in terms of value.
Also, possibly due to overtourism, most sites were very crowded, making it difficult to relax and fully enjoy the experience.

the palace was on large grounds, so would have been good if the entrance was highlighted….actually eastern side. gardens and house, smaller museums are well worth the admission. can easily spend 3+ hours and lots of walking

We initially rented audio guides, which are provided in exchange for a passport or ID. Since we didn't have either with us, we left a deposit of ₺2000 each. We got through quickly, there weren't any lines in the morning; we arrived around 10 AM, but it got much more crowded after us. First, we saw the palace. No photography is allowed inside, and it all felt rather uniform. Then we went to the harem, which was pretty much the same as the palace; there weren't any everyday items, like dishware or household objects. Next, we visited the art gallery, which featured works by Aivazovsky that he painted when he was in Istanbul in 1874, as well as many works by other artists. We left and went to the cafe for a snack. The food was generally decent, but the prices were above average for the city. We continued walking around the grounds and wanted to visit the Clock Museum, but it was closed, as was the Crystal Gallery. In the far corner of the garden, there were chickens and turkeys, and a peacock was roaming around. Lots of cats, too. Overall, we spent about 3 hours there. If the prices weren't a bit high, it would have been quite nice.

We enjoyed the visit to both places a lot! It’s a pitty that taking pictures in the palace is prohibited as it’s an excellent piece of art, there are many rooms to visit and everything is very well preserved. Galata tower offers very nice views of the city, we went around 8 pm as earlier the queue was too long.

What a beautiful place to visit! the garden is gorgeous with plenty of colourful flowers. The museum of paintings is also great, photos are forbidden inside the museum. Nearby, there is a lovely coffee place where you can get food and drinks. The crystal pavilion and the clock museum were closed at the time of my visit, but that did not bothered me too much as I really enjoyed the rest of the visit.

The garden and the gate outside by the sea was beautiful. The palace was huge with different hall section and each room was filled with chairs and apartment for the Sultan’s wives back in the day. Spent probably an hour here.
