Minuses:
The ticket price for foreigners is 850 liras, for locals 150 liras. It's a rip-off. A ticket to the Palace of Versailles costs less
The paper card of the museum was not given when buying the ticket.
The staff knows almost no English, they could not answer any questions about this facility.
Fences are installed in many rooms and in the park, it is impossible to enter many rooms of the palace and buildings.
It is forbidden to take pictures everywhere.
Positive:
A beautiful garden with a pond and gazebos.
Interesting old photos of Istanbul.
Beautiful decoration of many rooms.
Unusual antique furniture, books.
A very interesting palace. Everything is good inside. There is a smell of old. There are many rooms in different buildings. In oriental style. And the same furniture. You can't take pictures inside. A very suitable garden with water. A crowd is launched into the harem in the farthest corner. Wait. Be sure to visit the palace.
It is better to walk on weekdays. It is very beautiful and peaceful. There are no crowds of visitors. In autumn, there is a very picturesque park on the territory. And not as expensive as at the castle on the Bosphorus embankment.
