Your Experience
Starting Your Visit
You may begin your day at either palace depending on your schedule. Present your mobile ticket at the entrance to bypass queues at Dolmabahçe, and show the emailed QR code at Yıldız. Keep a valid ID handy if needed for the audio system.
Dolmabahçe Palace
Gain direct access to this grand landmark without waiting in line. Walk through ceremonial halls, crystal staircases, and decorated rooms. The tour covers both the Selamlık and Harem sections. An audio narration explains the history, royal life, and building design.
Yıldız Palace
This residence offers a quieter look at imperial living. Sultan Abdülhamid II once called this home. Stroll through the gardens and view elegant pavilions and refined interiors. You set the pace for your exploration here.
Flexibility and Value
Choose between audio-led or independent viewing at both sites. The combination allows you to see two major historical landmarks efficiently. It saves effort by grouping admission for both locations into one booking.
