Topkapi Museum, Istanbul (Turkey)
Looking for a great time exploring the royalty of the Turkish kings or sultans? Look no further. ‘Topkapi Palace’ is the place to be. Of the many things to see in Turkey, mainly Istanbul, the museum is definitely a must-see. Its ancient carvings are one to watch out for. Topkapi Museum is the subject of many colorful stories than most of the other museums of the world put together. Lustful sultans, ambitious courtiers, beautiful concubines (chained women) and varied eunuchs worked and lived here between the 15th – 19th century, when it used to be a court of the Ottoman Empire. A visit to the ex-palace’s luxurious pavilions, jewel-filled Treasure chest and the magnificent Harem gives as fascinating glimpse into what their lives could be.
History of Topkapi Palace
It is called Topkapi Sarayi Muzesi, in Turkish and located in Istanbul. It enshrines the vast imperial collections of the Ottoman Empire and also maintains an extensive, varying collection of books and manuscripts in its library. The museum is housed and located in a palace complex that used to serve as the main administrative headquarters and as the residence of the imperial Ottoman court from 1478 to 1856, so expect a royal feast of extensive luxury viewing when you get here! It re-opened as a museum in 1924, a year after the establishment and re-decoration of the Republic of Turkey. This museum is not just notable for its architecture and collections but also for the culture and history of the Ottoman Empire that it gets us reminiscing about.

I had a great trip to Turkey and was impressed with the arrangements made by the team for hotels, meals, excursions and trips during our vacation. The vehicles used throughout were impressive, large enough to suit our needs and were clean. The hotels and included meals were very good as well. Would definitely recommend our itinerary. The staff was very courteous, the guides were knowledgable and eager to share information and also very attentive to our questions and needs. The only bummer on the trip was the cancelation of hot air balloon ride which was dependent on weather. Rest all was absolutely perfect.Ananth Chaitanya

While we had a fair idea as to what we wanted to do we were more than satisfied with the options that were given to us. Turkey was brilliant thanks to the efforts of Harpreeth and her team. She took calls, replied to messages and answered doubts that we have As soon as possible. It was a pleasant experience to deal with someone as capable as her. Thank you for the wonderful experience and we will use travel triangle in the future as well.Preyas Srivastava
