Things to do in Topkapi Palace

Booking with Klook is convenient, the line at the venue is no joke, queuing to buy tickets takes over half an hour.

Make sure to find the meeting point on Google in advance, as the locals don't even know where it is. The palace is super worth visiting.

it was worth every penny!!!!! it was magical!!!! i lost words in every corner of the palace and i spent 4.5 hours there 😆😍i'm a solo traveler and glad that I purchased the ticket with audioguided & Harem section included through Klook. thanks!!!

This is a must see place. Engineering marvel by the romans, in all seriousness. Skipping the queue was well worth the ticket. The internal scenes are something else.

the guide was very well versed in the history of the attraction. He gave us us great insight. the tour was well paced. wear comfortable shoes as lots of walking is required for the tour

The Hagia Sophia is majestic, with its golden dome interwoven with light and shadows. Stepping inside, you can feel the grandeur of the Byzantine era and the weight of faith. The ancient mosaics on the walls make you feel like you're traveling through time. Then, visit the Basilica Cistern, where dim lights reflect on the water's surface, stone columns stand in rows, and the atmosphere is mysterious. The moment you see the "Medusa Column" is particularly stunning. The overall tour isn't long, but the visual and spiritual impact is definitely worth it.

The Basilica Cistern is quite interesting. The water is very clear, and the lighting makes for great photos. At the Hagia Sophia, women need to wear headscarves to enter, and the lower level is only accessible to Muslims. Booking tickets through Klook made entry very smooth.
