On my second day in Istanbul
Bathed in the early morning light, I started my second day of sightseeing~
Dolmabahçe Palace, Istanbul's new palace, is currently used as a place for leaders to receive distinguished guests~ It was built with tons of gold and silver, creating a luxurious palace~ What I liked most inside were the various crystal chandeliers, they are really beautiful. However, photography is not allowed📷 so I didn't take many pictures of the interior~
Saat Kule Cafe, right at the exit of the new palace, there's a cafe where you can have brunch~ Situated by the strait, the view is beautiful~
Galata Bridge, go see this bridge that spans the Golden Horn Bay, which has rich historical and cultural significance~ You'll find many fishermen fishing densely on the bridge🎣 Below the bridge, there are many seafood restaurants, choosing one to taste is a good choice👍
Golden Horn Bay, in the afternoon rent a boat, we spent 200 US dollars, it was rented by our guide, the boat is very new, the whole trip lasted 1 and a half hours, we toured the Bosphorus Strait and saw the full view of the Eurasian continental bridge, very beautiful 🤩
Galata Tower, after the boat ride, climb up the Galata Tower to overlook the entire Eurasian continent
İstiklal Avenue, in the evening go to İstiklal Avenue to eat some Turkish🇹🇷 barbecue, experience one of the busiest streets in the world, watch the red tram, a perfect day!
It's the modern days Royal palace of the late Ottoman Empire and early Republic of Turkiye. Last kings of the Ottoman Empire. And caliph Abdulaziz and the founder of Turkiye Mustafa Kemal Atatürk have been there. The museum is a little bit expensive and it's forbidden to take pictures. The behaviour of security was not professional and friendly. Painting was so special even though there were George Washington's paintings. I definitely suggest you also visit the art gallery.
The elegant atmosphere of the palace, built in white marble and Egyptian snowflake stone in Istanbul's new city, exudes the splendor and grandeur of the Ottoman Empire through the ornate gates. The small and exquisite Swan Lake is elegantly shaped. ~
Dubbed the New Palace, the Palace of Dormabach is located on the continental side of the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul, occupying more than 600 meters of the coastline and was built in the mid-19th century. Compared to the old palace, the modern European style of architecture and decoration is more luxurious, and the palace's yard is arranged like a large garden, with neatly manicured nurseries and flower beds everywhere. On the side facing the sea, there is a palace iron fence wall, there are several doors open, the steps outside the door extend into the sea, and the sea can be seen at the door.
ita us one of the touriat attraction every one wish to go. Its civers a huge area,l and well worth the visit. The ticket price is split into the main palace and the Harem and doesn’t include the art gallery within the grounds which is frustrating but seemingly common in Istanbul tourist attractions.
great historical site very busy and rich with history. this place has lots of information for you to expand your knowledge and get the most of the historic city of Istanbul
Dolmabahce Saray was built from 1843 to 1856. It is located on the European coast of the Bosphorus Strait. The main administrative center of the Tuman Turkish Empire from 1856 to 1889 and from 1909 to 1922.Dolmabahce Saray is now a museum with a large collection of art, calligraphy and carpets. The admission for foreigners are 450 TL which is very expensive.
By far, the most beautiful and ornate palace that we have ever laid eyes on. This place took our breath away. A must-see while visiting Istanbul, the exterior and especially the interior of this magnificent piece of history is indescribable. One of the highlights of our trip and the history given by the audio device was very interesting.
