The tower simply attracts with its view, it is located up to the ticket offices surrounded by a small park where you can hide from the sun on a hot day. And if, for some reason, you are wondering whether it is worth going further to inspect the palace, the chapel should finally dissuade you, because it is 1/100 of the beauty that awaits you ahead!
The Dolmabahce Clock Tower was built at the end of the XIX century according to the project of the famous Ottoman architect of Armenian origin Sarkis Balyan. This clock tower is the only element of the Dolmabahce Palace complex that can be viewed for free. Outside. But after passing the security control post...

Nicely. Powerful. Authentic. I recommend you to visit. You can buy an all-inclusive ticket and walk through all the parks, museums and halls, or you can go separately to one museum, garden and walk through it to the gate to the Bosphorus.
I liked everything here, this attraction is far from the main ones, plan for the last day. A very interesting place, then the palace. Be sure to take Russian-speaking guide headphones, they are free and included in the ticket price and go ahead.
It's a beautiful palace, but it's for an amateur. The interior is decorated in a very European way, you can not take pictures, the building is a box, there is nowhere to walk in the park. Admission is $50, beautiful, but not wow. There is a marina nearby, you can go boating
A beautiful place for a photo, closed from the outside, as if it were a government institution, of a closed type. But it's an interesting place for photos, if you can go along the way, specifically set a goal to visit it, I wouldn't
A very beautiful place for a photo. There is a palace and a magnificent gate nearby. Vodafone Stadium. There is a parking lot and a cafe with its own embankment, the prices are affordable. The view of Istanbul at night is fantastic and the same view of the bridge over the Bosphorus. A must-visit for everyone.
A very beautiful place, architecture, well-groomed territory, everything is at the highest level. I have not watched Turkish TV series and learned about this attraction from Yandex. I did not regret that I went, there is something to see both the palace itself and the harem and the area around it is fantastic)))
It will not be possible to quickly go around and see everything in half an hour in the palace. Plan to spend the whole day there. The park and surroundings are very cozy. There are many places where you just want to stand and enjoy the view of the Bosphorus and the well-kept garden. Take your time and get real pleasure
A very beautiful clock tower, every architectural object in this city evokes only positive emotions, everything is so beautiful that you want to visit every place
An amazing place! I strongly advise you to spend time and money on exploring this attraction! The buildings and the surrounding area are in excellent condition, there are signs everywhere, several toilets, several cafes on the territory. When buying an entrance ticket, a free audio guide is provided, it is in Russian, it is very interesting to listen. Everything is thought out, good transport accessibility. I spent 4 hours there with great pleasure!
Awesome place 🔥
At the cash desks, you can pay with cards (not the Russian Federation) and cash. We haven't seen any exchangers nearby! There is Wi-Fi on the territory, you can't shoot inside, but if you really want to, then you can do it under cover! Free audio guide, after the turnstile on the right. There are a lot of benches in front of the entrance to take a break! The entrance on 03.10.2023 cost 650 TL.
A gorgeous palace! It was built in 1842-1853 for Sultan Abdul-Majid I.
more than 14 tons of gold were used to decorate the interior of the palace;
the total cost of materials for construction was 5 million gold pounds;
a five-ton Bohemian glass chandelier presented to the Sultan by Queen Victoria
Dolmabahce is a very interesting center of European palace architecture in Istanbul. Although, to be fair, the palace complex does not reach the best examples of European capitals. It feels like they saved a lot on construction, because they were already building at the end of the empire.
The tower is like a tower, there is nothing particularly remarkable in it, groups usually gather there to conduct group tours of the Dolmabahche palace. You will not be able to buy water or have a snack here, you need to go back 100 meters.
The place that was built under the Ottoman Empire, where 5 sultans lived and where the leader of the Turkish people, Ataturk, spent his last hours. A palace with a history.
A place that left mixed impressions, somewhere like and nothing like that, but something like everywhere else in any other palace. Beautiful stone facades, lots of crystal inside, including huge chandeliers. Admission is 30 euros per person. Before going there, I heard a lot of admiring reviews from our compatriots, so I got the impression that the above is a subjective opinion.))
It is a very beautiful and old complex. We have been to all the buildings because I recommend it as a visitor there.
The area around is very beautiful. As is the dolmbakhche tower. The entrance is shown in the photo
