Topkapı Palace
Topkapı is a large palace visit rather than a single room: courtyards, collections and views reveal how the Ottoman court occupied this promontory.
Why go
Start with the sequence of courtyards to understand the palace's layout, then choose the collections that matter most to you. Treasury objects and ceremonial spaces have more meaning after the outdoor progression. The grounds are extensive, so a selective visit is more rewarding than rushing every section in a short slot.
