Full Description

Come and visit the beautiful Dolmabahce Palace which was the final residence of the Ottoman Dynasty. It was built by two Armenian architects, Karabet and Nikogos Balyan, and was heavily influenced by European architecture and design. On your visit, you will see many precious antique collections, luxurious furnishings and even a huge chandelier that weighs 4.5 tons! It is an extravagant palace with 285 rooms and 46 halls. Be sure to get a picture at the stunning, ornate gate that looks out on to the Bosphorus.

Next, take a ride across the Bosphorus Bridge that connects the continents of Europe and Asia. We’ll drive you to Camlıca, one of seven hills of Istanbul. From here, you will get a panoramic view of both sides of Istanbul and the beautiful Bosphorus Strait that flows between the two. It’s a must-see!
