Description

Dolmabahce Palace and the Bosphorus boat tour are located at the same spot, making it easy to enjoy both experiences in one day. You can visit the palace before or after your Bosphorus Boat Tour; either way, it’s a smooth and memorable plan. Skip the long lines and explore Dolmabahce Palace at your own pace with Show&Go entry tickets. Walk through the grand halls filled with crystal chandeliers, gold decorations, and elegant furniture that once hosted sultans and world leaders. Learn the palace’s fascinating history with an audio guide available in 25 languages and take your time discovering one of Istanbul’s most impressive landmarks by the Bosphorus. Your ticket also includes access to the Harem section, where you can see how the royal family once lived in private. The atmosphere here feels different, quieter, more personal and gives a closer look into the daily life of the Ottoman court. Step outside into the gardens for a peaceful walk with a beautiful Bosphorus view stretching right beside you. After visiting the palace, head to Kabataş Pier and join the Dentur Bosphorus boat tour. The cruise takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes and offers a relaxing way to enjoy the city from the water. From the deck, you’ll see landmarks like Ortaköy Mosque, Rumeli Fortress, and Beylerbeyi Palace while sailing between two continents. It’s the perfect way to end your day in Istanbul.
