What to expect

Embark on a fascinating journey through Istanbul's history with access to two iconic landmarks: Topkapı Palace and Galata Tower.

Topkapı Palace, once the grand residence of the Ottoman sultans, invites you to discover its architectural beauty and imperial legacy. With a hosted entry, you will receive a short introduction before continuing your visit on your own. Explore the palace courtyards, gardens, and historic sections with the help of a curated audio guide. Harem access is not included in the Topkapı Palace experience.

Galata Tower, one of Istanbul's best-known landmarks since the 14th century, offers panoramic views over the city from its observation deck. With a hosted entry, your host will accompany you to the entrance for a smooth start to your visit before you explore the tower and its history at your own pace, from its role as a watchtower to later periods of use.

This combined ticket offers a convenient way to discover two of Istanbul's most famous landmarks.
