DavidMarch 25, 2015The harem is less crowdy than the main palace building. It is a pleasure to visit. Some rooms are amazingly beautiful. The audio guide is very informative. Do not miss it when you are in Topkapi.
Museum Pass Istanbul DistributorMay 7, 2012The Museum Pass is on sale at many Istanbul hotels. It allows you to save time & money by offering admission to 6 must-see museums, including free admission to the Harem, without having to queue up.
Majed AlashariSeptember 26, 2015One of the places you have to visit in Istanbul. Be aware that you have to buy the full ticket to go to the Harm section.
Önder BingölNovember 9, 2014Harem offers magnificent examples of classical period Ottoman architecture and 16th century İznik tiles. Do not miss Murad the Third's main chamber built by Mimar Sinan.
ace offishApril 2, 2016It was an amazing experience, it takes 4 hours at least, get the full pass ticket and check the Harem main room!
Jon SteinbackDecember 22, 2014Don't skip the harem ticket, even though it costs a little extra; it's the best part!
- Şerif YenenFebruary 10, 2012The concept of the Harem has provoked much speculation. Curiosity about the unknown and inaccessible inspired highly imaginative literature among the people of the western world. Read more
- Ali LatifiNovember 27, 2014Not nearly as extensive as the palace itself, but beautiful and worth the sight.
B0NAYEFDecember 27, 2013Nice place where you will find everything about othmani sultans and the way were they lived.- Girts PolisJune 9, 2013No need to get Audio guide!!! The info is short and everything is written on the info boards next to the things worth see.
Bill GilroyFebruary 14, 2013Don't get the audio guide! There is as much detail and information on the signs on the walls as in the audio guide. Kind of a waste of money and not cheap (25 TL)
- Şerif YenenFebruary 10, 2012The Harem was not a prison full of women kept for the Sultan’s pleasure. It was actually the Sultan’s family quarters.
Sergey MartynovMay 7, 2012No wifi hotspot nearby and cell network is wonky - I wonder how sultan family used to check in here.
MarcosMay 22, 2011Unfortunately not working anymore :). Not joking now it is a very good place to go, need to pay extra ticket. It worths.
Vladimir KarmishinFebruary 19, 2014Wasn't impressed. Looks good, but doesn't worth the price, IMHO. Also, forget about audio guide. Waste of money, since it doesn't give any interesting information.
Mutlaka gelinmeli ama bazı yerler beş yıldır restorasyonda yıllar öncesi gördüğüm eserleri tekrar görememek büyük acı padişahın tahtı hazine odası Kaşıkçı elması gibi...
Kaan KalkanMarch 13, 2013Harem, sultanların ailesi ile birlikte yaşadığı ve saray mimarisinin 16.yydan 19. yy başlarına kadar çeşitli dönemlerin üslubunda örnekler içeren, mimarlık tarihi açından önemli bir komplekstir.
- Екатерина КаменеваJanuary 28, 2016Гарем!!! Это действительно стоит Вашего времени! Не пожалейте 15 лир, чтобы увидеть и ощутить всю прелесть и сложность женских будней в те времена! И посмотрите Великолепный век перед посещением...
Andrey KaledaOctober 21, 2015Шикарное место. Если уже пришли в Топкапы, то обязательно купите билет в Гарем. Очень интересно и красиво.
scorn for pornJune 29, 2018Красиво, жаль только, что часть не посмотреть из-за ремонта. Женщинам надевать платки, чтоб посмотреть гарем, не нужно - это миф!
Nevzat ÖztürkJanuary 30, 2016Tarihe tanıklık etmek istiyorsan paranın lafını etmeyeceksin.. Bence görülmesi gereken bir yer.. Heryerin kendine özgü havası ve gizemliliği var.. Etkileyici..
Julyane LimaJuly 7, 2018É o que mais vale a pena ser visitado no palácio! É muito lindo e cheio de riquezas
Sevgi H.K.July 21, 201515 tl vermemek için girmeyenler çok şey kaçırırlar. Tarihte yolculuk ediyorsunuz resmen 🇹🇷
Gül 🌍June 18, 2015Topkapı Sarayı Haremi dar uzun koridorlar, küçük iç avlular etrafına serpiştirilmiş 400 kadar odadan oluşmuştur.- Cüneyt GünayOctober 11, 2016Müzeleri ziyaret edin diye tavsiyeler yapacaksınız hem de Topkapı Sarayının girişini 40 tl yapacaksınız 3 kişilik bir aile 120 tl ödeyecek buna dur denmeli. Yurt dışındaki gibi ücretsiz veya İNDİRİM
Doruk İ.September 26, 2015Restorasyon sebebiyle cogu yer kapali ancak muhtesem bir tarih muhtesem bir şaşa..
La Petite QuiMay 14, 2013Le Harem, la salle des armes et l'arrière du Palais constituent les points culminants de la visite.
aylincheMay 26, 2016Seneler önce girişte Türk bir rehberin yabancı turistlere Harem hakkında verdiği bilgiler dehşet vericiydi.. Umarım hâlâ onlardan yoktur! Hüzünlü bir yer Harem bence..
Firat SelenMay 22, 2015İç içe geçmiş koridorlar, minik odalar. Bize aslında burada yaşayanların ne kadar mütevazi yaşadıklarını hatırlatıyor

"Travelling through history... Take time to enjoy in beautiful grounds and gardens. And view over Bosphorus, of course."
Tatjana Nikolić - 9.0
"Liked it, despite heavy reconstructions and Constantine's sarcophagus being closed. Museum of the Ancient Orient was the best start with excellent audio commentary, so do get the audio guide"
Foodie - 8.9
"Start with Harem first, as it closes earlier. Get the audio guides here with no queues! Had to wait for half an hour to get one at the entrance! ID is needed. Photos are mostly allowed"
