Meeting Point

Topkapi Palace
1 hour 40 minutes
Topkapı Palace and Harem (Topkapı Sarayı) are likely to have more colorful stories than most of the world's museums put together. Sultans, courtiers, concubines and eunuchs lived and worked here between the 15th and 19th centuries when it was the court of the Ottoman empire. A visit to the palace's opulent pavilions, jewel-filled Treasury and sprawling Harem gives a fascinating glimpse into their lives.
