Useful tips
- Some areas, including the Harem, may have separate conditions, so check the official guidance first.
- Seeing both the palace interior and the surrounding park requires a fair amount of time to move around.
- Looking at the itinerary, it's better to choose the areas you most want to see first — the Harem, the Treasury, or the viewpoints — instead of trying to cover the whole palace at once. It cuts down on wasted walking.
- There is a lot of moving between gardens and courtyards, so it takes more stamina than other indoor sights in the Old City. On the same day, it's safest to keep the plan to nearby Hagia Sophia or Gülhane.
