You’ll need at least half a day to properly explore the Topkapi Palace. The administrative center of the Ottoman Empire for nearly four hundred years, from 1465 to 1853, the palace is a lavish complex of beautifully preserved tiled buildings and picturesque courtyards. Don’t miss the Harem (which requires a separate ticket and a fairly long wait), the eye-popping gemstones and Ottoman riches showcased in the Imperial Treasury and the excellent Archaeological Museum. Indagare members can contact the bookings team to arrange for a private guide.
