Full description
Take the shortest way into the glorious Topkapi Palace of Istanbul. Choose the time that suits you best, meet your host in front of the museum, and go directly to the entrance. You can save up to 2 or 3 hours by not standing in the famous lines.
Following security checks, receive a brief introduction as to what to see inside, including the council hall, arms and armory section, or holy relics. Afterwards, enjoy the palace at your own pace.
