Dolmabahce Palace, Istanbul (Turkey)

Nestled on one of the most spectacular parts of the Bosphorus, the grandeur of the Dolmabahce Palace leaves everyone in awe. Constructed during the Ottoman area, it later became the Presidential Palace. The attraction still holds a significant place in Turkey. Built by an Armenian architect, Garabet Amira Balyan, Dolmabahce Palace, Istanbul is a combination of European architectural styles, and has 43 halls and 285 rooms that make this palace a must-visit attraction of Istanbul.

History of Dolmabahce Palace

Built by the architect Garabet Balyan during the years 1843-1856, Dolmabahce Palace was the home to the Ottoman sultans back during their rule. It was built for the reason that the previous palace where the royal family used to reside was not luxurious enough. The Dolmabahce Palace has a lot of importance in the history of Istanbul and is considered as one of the grandest palaces in Istanbul.

The Dolmabahce Palace attracts lots of visitors from all around the world through its beauty and charm. The palace was specially built for the Ottoman sultans and was the home for 6 sultans since the day of the completion of the palace. As per the history of Dolmabahce Palace, it took 13 years for the completion of this attraction which is one of the most marvelous creations of the architects in Istanbul. The palace is built in European style as was instructed by the emperor and the result was one of the most fascinating palaces ever seen.

Attractions of Dolmabahce Palace

There are many attractions in the palace itself which makes it more enchanting. The Dolmabahce Palace has handmade parquet floors in the dining halls which can be viewed. The parquets are made of ebony, rosewood, and mahogany and is one of the masterpieces of the architect who built the palace. The chandelier in the palace is yet another attraction of the Dolmabahce Palace and is famous for being the largest Bohemian crystal chandelier. There are even several paintings in the palace which would depict the ancient tales and the skills of the artists back then. The palace has a room in the harem section, where the founder of the Turkish Republic- Mustafa Kemal Ataturk died.  

Interesting Facts about Dolmabahce Palace

The clock in the harem section where the Turkish Republic founder died remains set to his time of expiry. And, the whole Turkey observes silence at this time every year.

The women of the harem used to be hidden behind the grilles to watch the grand ceremonies held in the hall.

Around 14 tons of gold was used to decorate the ceiling leaves in the palace.

Sprawled over around 45 million square of area, the Dolmabahce Palace is the largest palace in Turkey.

The palace exhibits a collection of around 202 oil paintings made by some of the eminent artists.

    Manoj's 7 days trip to Istanbul

    It was a wonderful experience for us. We thoroughly enjoyed every bit. Really loved the great service and coordination from Travel Lykke team. Very professional, always available and helpful. We would definitely book our future trips with you and suggest the same to our friends as well.

    Asmita's 9 days trip to Istanbul

    We booked our Turkey trip through Travel Triangle and through Travel Lykke. The trip went as planned. However, we felt that we could have been offered more than the standardized tour packages available in Turkey as we had taken a customized tour package. E.g. The Green Tour in Cappadocia covering
    entire day has hardly any sights, activities covered. The Selime Monastry is a regular cave like structure which is 1,5 hrs one way and totally not worth the time. Due to which we couldn't cover some of the nearest attractions like Uchisar Castle or activities like ATV ride which are way more engaging than the monastry. Even in Istanbul, the day tour covered only Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace and post lunch we were taken to Grand Bazaar where we were on our own. Galata Tower, Basillica Cistern like attractions were not included in the tour and had to be done on our own. The Antalya tour also had 5 hrs sitting in the bus out of 10 hrs of day travel and covered only the waterfalls and Mediterrnean sea boat ride. The old town was only a locality with no attractions worth the time. We wanted to cover paragliding in Fethiye, however, the transport offered by Travel agent was very expensive. We had to fund our own transfer and paragliding in Alanya instead of doing it in Fethiye.

    Dhatri's 7 days trip to Istanbul

    Me and my husband with two others recently had the pleasure of booking a 10-day Turkey trip with Travel Triangle, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was organized seamlessly, and the team at Travel Triangle made sure our journey through Istanbul, Anta
    lya, and Cappadocia was filled with memorable moments. Istanbul: Our trip began in the vibrant city of Istanbul, and everything was very well arranged. From exploring the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque to enjoying a boat ride to Princess Island, every detail was taken care of. The local guide provided insightful knowledge of the city’s history, and the accommodations were comfortable and centrally located, allowing us to explore on our own as well. Only in Princess Island, the guide could have been more helpful in explaining the island insights rather than just dropping us to the place and explore on our own. Antalya: In Antalya, Travel Triangle arranged an excellent blend of historical tours and leisure time on the beautiful beaches. The guided visit to the ancient city of Perge, Pammukale, Old town walk and a relaxing trek to 2 waterfalls were definite highlights. The choice of hotel with its sea view was perfect! Cappadocia: Cappadocia was the highlight of the trip! We approached Travel Triangle in the last minute to book Hot air balloon and they didn't disappoint us. They planned a magical experience with the hot air balloon ride, which was a dream come true. The fairy chimneys, underground cities and even ATV ride at sunset were fascinating. I’m grateful for the attention to detail, from the transport to the personalized local tours. Every activity was well-timed, allowing us to soak in the surreal landscapes. Overall: The only drawback was that we couldn't spend more time in each place as it was a group trip or we weren't allowed to alter . We were taken to multiple jewelry shop / workshop which personally felt was not required. We would have enjoyed more if they had taken us to lot more historical place. However, the tour was perfectly balanced between sightseeing, adventure, and relaxation. I highly recommend Travel Triangle for anyone looking to explore Turkey, as their services made this trip truly special.

    Things were well arranged. Their team created a whatsapp group and we're constantly giving updates. Thanks for all the help, Ruksana, Karishma and team. Airport transfer, Green tour, Hot air balloon rides were great. The ATV ride was a bit risky though. We got bad helmets. No elbow/knee guards.

    Had a great experience in Cappadocia, beautiful hotel and excellent trip with a great tour guide. Istanbul hotel was not been great as describe in the hotel website. Specially chosen the prefer hotel but very upsetting of not having the a comfort stay. We have allocated in a coner room and then se
    rvice felt bit of poor as per there standards. Staff not much of helpful thou. Istanbul Tour & guide was the best to make us most of our journey but the prince island wasn't up to the standard as describe. The boat tour to island was a shamble and food offer felt us like eating in canteen food. Rest service was been great

    It was our first time dealing with Travel Triangle and their network of Indian travel agents. We booked a family trip to Turkey which was fabulously organised and we came back with amazing memories. We would certainly use Travel Triangle again for our future holiday needs. Thank you for taking the
    stress out of planning and arranging such a comprehensive 5 cities with 3 domestic internal flights, 13 days holiday! Too many to list but personal favourite was the ATV sunset tour in Cappadocia which was amazing with breathtaking sunset view in Rose valley.
