Dolmabahçe Palace

Palace · Ottoman history

Dolmabahçe Palace is a nineteenth-century Ottoman waterfront palace on the European shore of the Bosphorus, known for ceremonial halls, richly decorated interiors, gardens, and its shift away from the older Topkapı court complex. It pairs naturally with Beşiktaş and a Bosphorus-focused day and deserves enough time for both the palace rooms and waterfront setting.
