Review & FAQ:
Once the former residence of sultans, the Topkapi Palace is now a grand museum where visitors can see clothing and headgear; jewel-encrusted weapons; glassware, porcelain, and silverware; religious relics and illuminated manuscripts; artwork; and other artifacts from the Ottoman Empire. A marble-covered gate leads into the first courtyard, where visitors will find a museum shop that sells guidebooks for self-guided tours. Audio guides are also available. Some sections of the museum are currently being renovated, and a chart on the palace’s website gives guests information about which sections they will be able to visit during their tour.
