BEFORE YOU BOOKFive checks. A clearer choice.
Five checks. A clearer choice.
01Check the venue & included areas
Check the named attraction and the areas included in your selected option. A similarly named museum or an extra site may require a different ticket.
Selamlık, Harem and Painting Museum: what is included?
Selamlık is the ceremonial and administrative part of the palace; the Harem covers the private household quarters. The Painting Museum is a separate part of the complex: only treat it as included when your ticket says so.
How do tickets and the audio guide work?
These are visits with an audio-guide device, not a live guide. Bring a passport or accepted ID for the device deposit and collect it again when returning the device. Check the provider’s current instructions before you go.
02Choose your date & session
Check the opening day and selected entry time. Leave time for ticket collection, security and any guide meeting.
03Know how your visit starts
An entry code, ticket collection and a host meeting are different arrangements. Read the arrival instructions before heading to the entrance.
04Audio guide or live guide?
Audio lets you explore at your own pace. A live tour has a meeting time and a guide. Check the language and whether you need your own headphones.
05Compare the final terms
Match the included experiences, then compare the total price and cancellation deadline. Security screening still applies.
