The place itself is lovely, with quite a lot to see (took us four hours) albeit some of it is quite dry and samey. The big issue, however, is the frankly outrageous pricing - GBP 40 each is an unbeli…Full review by EJG27

The Istanbul main tourism spots are really crowded, queus to the places are long and ticket prices impressive. E.g. 50 euros or 2000 LT for Topkapi plus GetYourGuide service fee. Huh. The Palace area…Full review by Maari100

Start as early as you can as it takes at least 6 hrs to get a good view of Topkai palace with a couple of rests for coffee and food. I would start at opening time. The crowds get much greater after lunch.
Can someone who visited Topkapi recently advice of the ticket pricing please. It mentions Topkapi alone as TL700 and Harem TL500 but a combined ticket as TL1500. Can we buy individual tickets or the only option is to buy the combo at TL1500?

Hi Kathy. We were there about a month ago. We just got the tickets for Topkapi separately. Depending on where else in Turkey you are going see if the museum pass will work for you. We’ve been here a month and various sites have cost us a fortune BUT lots of things aren’t included in the pass.
Can somebody please tell me how much is ticket for palace +harem part? No guide, no nothing, just a plane ticket. I keep finding some crazy prices online, and I cant belive is that expensive. Im not turkish(i found that they pay 200tl and foreigners 950tl?! )
A:
I had visited in last January and paid 500 TL per person only for Topkapi palace, not for Harem.
