It was very busy mid day October, so either really. I know we are fascinated in both history and culture but it took us 6 hours. Allow yourself as much time as possible. The Harem was well worth a visit too.
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.
