Public transportation options are available nearby. Suitable for all physical fitness levels. Istanbul notoriously has bad traffic. Give more time to get to the meeting point than you may have planned. Topkapi Palace is a vast complex with multiple sections open for visit. During our tour, we'll visit the most magnificent masterpieces. However, if you wish to explore all sections at your leisure, we recommend booking a morning tour and allocating the afternoon to explore the Palace grounds.. Tickets are timed and expire within 5 to 10 minutes.. Please be advised that it is not possible to join the tour after it has commenced.. Tips/gratuities (for your guide) are always appreciated.
We meet at Ersoy Bufe. This is a small food kiosk just by the side of the Hippodrome in Sultanahmet Square. It is across the German Fountain. Your guide will be in front of the Ersoy Bufe with a sign that says, “Walks in Europe.”
