Beautiful palace complex. There is a luxurious garden with gazebos, a pond and even waterfalls. Yildiz was the last refuge of the sultan and his family in the 19th century, so the luxury of palace life was preserved here, unlike Dolmabahce, which found the time of the Revolution and the rule of Ataturk. There are pavilions with small museums around the perimeter - a harem, a library, a greenhouse, in general, everything that made up the daily routine of the rulers. In front of the palace there is a beautiful mosque in the Gothic style, which, by the way, is in operation. A big advantage of visiting Yildiz is the opportunity to buy a ticket at the same time as the right to visit Dolmabahce. The downside is that you can't take pictures anywhere, but if you're careful and unobtrusive, you can. In general, I recommend you to visit.

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.

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.
