Topkapı Palace

  • EraOttoman (1459-1856)
  • Admission$25 (Harem additional $15)

Vast palace complex that housed Ottoman sultans for 400 years with its Harem, Treasury (featuring the 86-carat Spoonmaker's Diamond), and stunning views over the Bosphorus and Golden Horn. The palace whispers of intrigue, power, and the lives of hundreds of concubines and eunuchs.
