The palace is big. Separate on 2 parts Harem & Sultan palace. Make any pictures not allowed 🚫 inside palace
This is the most satisfying classic in Istanbul. It is completely worth the ticket price. There are many places to visit, all of which are very exquisite. You can also enjoy the sea breeze by the sea. I love this place so much.

Even thought Istanbul Aquarium is a little bit far away from other tourist attractions, it's a really beutifull place. Its the only place in Turkey that I have seen real penguins and they were amazing. Aquarium has so many species and you can see sharks, stingrays and penguins. Istanbul Aquarium ıs the best Aquarium I have ever been in my life. You will amazed by the sea creatures inside! You can go too the aquarium by using marmaray and Its worth your time for sure.
In Istanbul Aquarium the signs of the displays are not in english but in Turkish language. Located far from the city center in a shopping mall on the shores of the Marmara Sea with fantastic views. You will find much to see with some remarkable sea creatures. Everywhere is well kept with the water in every tank is crystal clear. Recomended with some downside.
