  2. Step beyond the grand courtyards of Topkapı Palace and discover the fascinating Harem, the most private and mysterious part of the Ottoman Empire. Far more than the sultan’s residence, the Harem was a self-contained world where the royal family lived, influential women shaped imperial politics, and future rulers were raised. As you explore its beautifully decorated chambers, elegant courtyards, and intricate İznik tilework, your expert guide will reveal the true stories behind the legends. Learn about the power of the Valide Sultan, the daily lives of the concubines, palace traditions, and the complex hierarchy that governed this hidden world. This immersive visit offers a deeper understanding of Ottoman court life beyond the myths.

About Istanbul

Istanbul sträcker sig över Europa och Asien vid Bosporen, med bysantinska och osmanska monument, livliga basarer och färjor mellan världsdelarna.

Den historiska halvön rymmer de största landmärkena. Hagia Sofia, Blå moskén och Hippodromen ligger mitt emot varandra i Sultanahmet, Basilikacisternen ligger under gatorna och Topkapipalatset breder ut sig på kullen ovanför Gyllene hornet. En kort promenad bort har Grand Bazaar och kryddbasaren handlat i århundraden, och Süleymaniyemoskén, byggd av den store osmanske arkitekten Sinan, kröner en av stadens sju kullar.

Top-ranked sights in Istanbul: Dolmabahce Palace (Dolmabahce Sarayi), Bosphorus, Bosphorus Bridge (Bogazici Koprusu).
