Audio tour easy to use and very informative. The Palace, gardens and Harem are stunning. Shame you can’t take photos. Still a beautiful place.

Dolmabahce Palace was amazing and well worth visiting whilst in Istanbul. The main T1 tramline takes you within a 5 minute walk of the entrance. You need to allow several hours to see all of the incredible exhibits, rooms and gardens.
