One of best Ottoman Castles on the Asian site.. A must visit if you love Istanbul's Asian side.. The castle is not very big.. 1-2 hours is enough... Very beautiful rooms and architecture.. The price is 200 TL for each Person.. A good view on Bosphorus is stunning...

Once a summer residence of Ottoman sultans, this palace is in a unique, stunning location on the Asian coast of Bosporus. Offering incredible views directly to the sea, the bridge and both the Asian and European coasts, it will take your breath away! Beautiful garden with ponds and statues, magnificent sea gates all over..! And what can I say about the masterpiece of architecture, the palace itself? The luxury both of outside and inside will leave you in awe! I enjoyed it so much, a visit there is a must, especially if you want an alternative to avoid the crowds in Dolmabahçe palace! Very sadly, photos are prohibited inside the palace.

A beautiful place, close to the sea and with a beautiful view for taking pictures.. The presence of beautiful figures with trees gives a very beautiful character .. The presence of Turkish music everywhere gives a wonderful atmosphere to Turkish culture

Pretty palace but you cannot take pictures inside it and most rooms are super similar. Important to say that most of it is undertaking renovations. Also update about the price, it is now 200 TL per person.

Sultan Abdülaziz hat den Ort geliebt, weil er ein großer Liebhaber des wilden Meeres war. Tatsächlich trifft der Nordwestwind Poyraz, der weiter südlich in der Ägäis Meltemi heißt, mit aller Wucht hier ein. Zusammen mit dem Nordstrom des Bosporus hat der Wind die Kolonisierung des Schwarzen Meeres verhindert, bis es Jason gelungen ist, mit seinen Argonauten nordwärts zu segeln (Sage vom Goldenen Vlies). Vor dem Bau hat sich hier ein Holzpalast befunden, den Sultan Mahmut I. im 16. Jahrhundert hat bauen lassen. Die Terrassengärten des Palastes hießen früher Istavroz Bahçeleri, weil hier der Kaiser Konstantin der Große ein großes Kreuz hat errichten lassen, um seinen Übertritt zum Christentum zu deklamieren. Istavroz ist vom griechischen Wort Stavrós (σταυρός), „Kreuz“, abgeleitet. Unweit des Palastes waren noch vor wenigen Jahrzehnten die Ruinen einer byzantinischen Kirche zu sehen. Der Palast diente als Sommerresidenz für den Sultan und seine Familie. Berühmte Gäste waren u. a. Die französische Kaiserin Eugénie de Montijo, Gattin von Napoleon III., Kaiserin Elisabeth, der König von Montenegro und Schah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Sultan Abdülhamid II. verbrachte seine letzten sechs Lebensjahre hier und starb in diesem Palast. Eugénie de Montijo war vom Charme des Palastes derart überwältigt, dass sie nach ihrer Rückkehr nach Paris eine Kopie des Fensters ihres Raums in dem Palast für ihr Schlafzimmer in den Tuilerien anfertigen ließ. Der Beylerbeyi-Palast war Schauplatz der ersten Weltfrauenkonferenz im Jahre 1935, veranstaltet von Kemal Atatürk.

I was truly captivated by the beauty and design of it. The intricate stone walls and elegant archways showcased impeccable craftsmanship. Inside, the blend of opulence and historical charm was mesmerizing. I stumbled upon a cozy coffee shop with a stunning view of the Bosphorus, offering a perfect moment of relaxation. This castle is an enchanting must-visit, embodying history and serenity in one place.

Another beautiful palace in Istanbul. It was very easy to get there with public transport. It was worth it to visit inside the palace and enjoy beautifully decorated interiors and find out who visited this palace. Grounds were very well kept and the place had happy and calm atmosphere. I can only imagine how much fun guests must had there in those days. Worth visiting whilst you are in Istanbul and love history and interiors as much as I do.

Very beautiful but no reason for you being a paying customer and not being allowed to take photos! Makes no sense Tickets are more reasonable than other attractions in Istanbul, but still, it’s not free and there’s no reason as to why you wouldn’t be able to take photos. Super gorgeous palace with incredible views of the bosphorus! The staff doesn’t speak great english but everyone was nice enough. The gentleman at the entrance of the castle was super friendly, everyone could learn from him! Very sad that most of the installations are closed, the kiosks and the gardens are off limits, very disappointing as they looked beautiful from the pictures. The palace is very beautiful but very small, to see everything should take you 30min. The audio guide isn’t very informative, as it mostly tells you the make of the chandeliers (spoilers: they’re all the same)

During our weekend trip to Turkey, we had the pleasure of visiting the Beylerbeyi Palace, and it was nothing short of magical.

This palace has the advantage of small entrance price .and its placement facing the bosphor . So beautiful and antique inside .unfortunately no photos are allowed . Its garden is so beautiful too This palace is a must see

A very historic and glorious place. I advise you to ask for the automatic hearing aid (the receptionist can set it to any language preference) No photography is allowed inside For the best experience, get with you the normal earphones so you can plug it in the hearing aid which they provide so you don’t stay all the tour holding the hearing aid with your hand to your ear.

Der Palast ist meiner Meinung nach nicht sehenswürdig, aber die Aussicht ist sehr schön. Leider ist der Eintritt für Touristen 3-4 mal so teuer wie für Einheimische.

Beylerbeyi Palace is a summer palace of Turkey Ottoman Empire. Before entering the palace building, visitors are required to coat their footwear with plastic so as not to pollute the floor. Unfortunately, visitors are not permitted to take photos during the palace tour. Although this palace is not too big compared to other palaces, it has a beautiful interior and is quite luxurious. There's a beautiful park around this palace which will be very beautiful to be seen in the spring.

Majestic ! The Beylerbeyi Palace is an Imperial Ottoman summer residence built between 1861 and 1865 as a summer residence and a place to entertain visiting heads of state It is located in the Beylerbeyi neighbourhood of Üsküdar district at the Asian side of the city A must see place !

It is so pretty! Entrance is with a fee but we had our Muze card so we did not have to pay. There is a cafe inside. If you have time would advise you to have a cup of coffee or tea. They do not allow you take photos inside. :( They do have a tour guide recording device that has multiple language options... Would advise everyone to go check out this spectacular place... :)

One of the most beautiful, well-known and well decorated palaces of Istanbul. The interior design is so amazing and eye catching. It has some similarities in architectural design with Dolmabahce Palace. Outside of the palace you can find a cafe and restaurant in the open space of the garden.

Great History with Amazing location 😍

It is an amazing landmark full of beautiful and breathtaking architecture and interior elements. It is an landmark worth visiting. Beylerbeyi Palace was commissioned by Sultan Abdülaziz (1830–1876) and built between 1861 and 1865 as a summer residence and a place to entertain visiting heads of state. Empress Eugénie of France visited Beylerbeyi on her way to the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869. Empress Eugénie of France was so delighted by the elegance of the palace that she had a copy of the window in the guest room made for her bedroom in Tuileries Palace, in Paris. Naser al-Din Shah Qajar of Iran stayed in the palace while he was in Istanbul, back on his way from Exposition Universelle (1889) of France. Other regal visitors to the palace included the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. The palace was the last place of captivity of the deposed sultan Abdulhamid II from 1912 until his death there in 1918.

It's a very nice place to relax with a cup of tea in the garden. The interior is gorgeous

Amazingly dazzling and beautiful palace. No photos are allowed inside. The worst vegetarian pizza ever at the cafe but it’s not the purpose of our visit anyway. Meatballs are better. The staff is very kind. The view is fantastic.

Summer residence of Turkish sultans, much less popular than Dolmabahce Palace. The interiors are very similar to Dolmabahce, only the palace itself is much smaller. Even the manufacturers of chandeliers and furniture are the same. I was very surprised by the fountain inside one of the halls. There is a very quiet and cozy courtyard around the palace. From which an excellent view of the bridge opens. An audio guide is included in the ticket price.

Wonderful palace representing the type of luxurious modern architecture implemented during the late period of the Ottoman Empire. It has a spacious garden with a cafe restaurant. There is also a beautiful corniche attached with marvellous views on the Bosphorus.

One of the stops on the Hop-on-Hop-off tour, on the Asian side. Historical site that is interesting to visit if you are on that side already or looking are looking for a reason to go, but not worth going out of your way. The tickets are 90TL for foreigners (locals get it for 40TL) and that is for an audio guide as well which will be essential.

The garden is beautiful and relaxing with nice view. It cost 5 TL to see the garden. The palace will be closed for 2 years for renovation. You can buy cay, coffee, dessert and sit outside. Clean bathrooms and a very small gift shop.

One of the Ottoman Palaces. It is so beautiful that you can adore for it. Last visit time is 6p.m. Enter fee is 30 TL for adult, 15TL for children.

I recommend going alone and not with tour guides. they won’t let you take your time . They give you a remote like device that tells you what every room is and it’s history it comes in various languages.I love the way they narrate what every room is for. I prefer it over listening to a tour guide talking because you can repeat it .

A beautiful palace of the Ottoman Empire. I recommend you to buy an audio phone at the entrance which explains every room of the palace. I would love to go back in time and live in this palace. It is also said that even Atatürk spent a night here.

Toller Palast und für wenig Geld anzusehen. Wir waren ganz begeistert von der wunderschönen Einrichtung. Man kann wunderschön am Wasser sitzen .Es lohnt sich wirklich. ⁸

Beautiful little palace with great furnishings. A recorder tour is part of the entry fee, which is about 40 lire per person.Nice little cafe is on the grounds where you can enjoy the gardens then you can slip into the palace and take in all the furnishings and decor. Not a must see given Istanbul's plethora of historical sites, but very nice little gem depicting the lives of Sultans

The palace is very beautiful. It was built as a summer residence for the Sultan. You are not allowed to take photos inside but you are provided with a free audio guide (just like at Dolmabahçe Palace). I highly recommend it especially if you enjoyed the other Palace.

The Beylerbeyi Palace, in Turkish language Beylerbeyi Sarayı. Beylerbeyi meaning "Lord of Lords" and it's located in the Beylerbeyi  neighbourhood of Uskudar district in Istanbul, Turkey, at the Asian side of the Bosphorus. Built in the 1860 year. It was the last place where Sultan Abdulhamid II was under house arrest before his death in 1918.

The museum is worth every lira you pay for the ticket and it’s a must-see for every tourist – on par with or even better than Dolmabahce or Topkapi palaces. The Upper Gardens and both Sea Kiosks were closed for restoration works, and the gift shop disappointed, but the overall impression was very good.

(Translated by Google) Beylerbeyi Palace was conceived as a summer resort on the Bosphorus Anatolian side of the Ottoman sultans and a state guesthouse where foreign presidents or rulers would be hosted, and at the request of Sultan Abdülaziz, construction began on August 6, 1863 and was officially opened on Friday, April 21, 1865, with a ceremony. .

Interesting

(Translated by Google) It is the tunnel that we say we use even if it is opened. The Historical Tunnel, which was built to separate the palace from the main road during the Ottoman Period, was also used as a highway connection for a long time. The 230-meter-long tunnel connecting Üsküdar and Beylerbeyi, starting from the Republican period until 1973, was closed to traffic in 1975 after the construction of the Bosphorus Bridge.

Enjoyed exploring the palace. Don't forget the get an audio guide when entering. Commonly mentioned that it is a more modest place compared to other palaces, still worth seeing and making a trip our of it and have lunch at the nearby restaurants after.

It's a very nice place to be walking around , then have a good tea or turkish coffee on those sidewalk cafe and just watch those people fishing

Fantastic palace, very colourful, rich, with excellent taste, great park around, exquisite position under the Bridge, certainly worth visiting👌

A stunning historical point located in Uskudar, Istanbul. Beylerbeyi Palace is one of the palaces in Istanbul, facing the Bosphorus from the Asian side. The current Palace was built upon the orders of Sultan Abdulaziz between 1863 - 1865, however, the original wooden palace was built between 1808 - 1839 by Sultan Mahmoud II. The palace visit takes between 1 - 1.5 hours, photo shooting is not allowed inside the main building, but allowed in the gardens and the open areas. The easies way to reach Beylerbeyi from the old town, is through the ferry from Eminonu or other ports, directly to Uskudar, and then by either public bus or taxi.

One of the beautiful palaces in Istanbul. To me, the best! :) They give audio service for free at the beginning, better to have it to understand the history behind this wonderful place. Also, there is a cafe at the garden to get rest and enjoy the view.

The palace and grounds are perfectly situated near the Bosphorus bridge overlooking European Istanbul. Take the self-guided audio tour. Lots of history and the interiors are over the top.

Amazingly beautiful!!!! The front was being renovated so we had to enter from the back. They make you wear shoe protection so u wont damage the inside. Tickets are not that expensive. Also there was not a lot of people in line. Its beautiful and worth the visit! (Also there is parking next to the mansion. Very easy in and out.

This was the summer palace of Ottoman Sultans. It is located in Üsküdar, along the Bosporus. As photography is not allowed inside the museum, this post will not unfortunately include any photos. Ceilings and crystal chandeliers of each room, were the most beautiful ornaments that I had seen until then. The palace garden is big, green, surrounded with high orchid trees. There is a small cafeteria with hot and cold drinks, as well as salads, toasts and pastries. Beylerbeyi Palace should be on top of any places to see list of İstanbul.

An amazing palace with a great view. You can experience a great tour with the audio headset that guides you thoroughly through the palace rooms filled with Ottoman history. It is a must-see place for anyone visiting Istanbul!

Well organised , not crowded. Ticket price is reasonable. The furniture is well preserved.Unfortunately taking photos inside is not allowed and large part of the garden is closed for visitors. Having a drink and or a snack at the cafeterias there is very relaxing. I enjoyed every minute there.

It is a perfect palace. They provide you with an audio tour guide device that welcomes you at the entrance and you enter the palace as a group.You can see the palace life and ranks of the last periods of the Ottoman Empire in a beautiful way.A palace you must go to.

The curator did well to reflect the style of living of the Sultan. The palace is very ostentatious, where every room filled with such grandeur had its purpose. There is also an interesting juxtaposition of the old and the new as the Bosphorous Bridge passes over the Palace. This museum is worth the visit

Must go place. Gold is dripping from the celling and walls.

I was told the Asian side was not worthwhile however I thoroughly enjoyed it. This Summer palace is a must.

A modest servant's door lets you into the grounds of a palace second only to Dolmabahçe in scale. Shall the interiors are free of crowds, the decoration will delight lovers of late-Ottoman flamboyance.

Gorgeously maintained. A good quick stop with audio guide.

One of the best palaces in Istanbul. Breakfast is not delicious but the garden is very good to have breakfast.

It's very beautiful place.. Turkey is country that mostly attract tourist. I'm finished my journey with in one week but still all thing are surrounding, felling that place where I'm spending my beautiful time.

Konumu mimarisi ile göz kamaştırıcı bir eser.

Müzekart ile giriş ücretsiz ve beraberinde sesli tur hizmeti alabiliyorsunuz. Koca saray, sanki sadece yabancı misafirleri ağırlamak icin kullanılmış. Yabancı misafirleri karşılama odası, yabancı devlet adamlarına hediye takdim odası, vs. Osmanlının son zamanlarında yabancılara yaranma çabasının ne kadar abartıldığının en güzel ornegi olmuş bu saray. Sarayda tek bir kitap odası veya kitaplığın olmadığını görmek ayrı bir üzüntü veriyor insana. Duvarlarda padişah ailesinden hiçkimsenin yağlı boya tablosunun olmaması da insanı düşündürüyor.

Muhteşem güzellikler, bol oksijen, manzara olağanüstü...

Pazartesi gunleri kapali, muze kart geciyor. Icinde fotograf cekmek yasak, gizlice cektim. 1800lerin basinda bu alanda 2.mahmut ahsap saray yaptiriyor ve sonra yanginda kül oluyor. Daha sonra abdulaziz ise 1860larda simdiki sarayi yaptiriyor; daha cok yazlik bir mekan olarak kullanilmis. 1912-1918 arasinda abdulhamit burada yasamis (tahttan alınınca) ve hatta beylerbeyi sarayindaki yataginda vefat etmis. Buyuk salonun icinde havuz var, milli saraylar arasinda su ana kadar gordugum en farkli sey bu havuz oldu. Abdulaziz bu alanda sanat gosterileri izlermis. Eskiden burokratik kesim cok daha aydin ve estetik kaygilari olan insanlarmis, simdikilere bakinca daha cok anliyoruz ?? sarayin bahcesinde kucuk bir kafetarya da var, havuz kenarinda yorgunluk atilabilir, manzarasi keyifli ?

Ecdadın muhteşem eserlerinden biri

Türk usülü saray...

Çok güzel bir saray. Dolnabahçeyi andırıyor fakat daha küçük. Manzara muhteşem.

(Translated by Google) It is one of the palaces that best reflects the Ottoman period. (Original) Osmanlı dönemini en iyi yansıtan saraylardan bir tanesi.

(Translated by Google) Not a very popular place among tourists, as it is located at some distance from the main tourist trails. Thanks to this people are few, although in beauty and interior decoration, from my point of view, it surpasses the Dolmabahce Palace. Where else can you see a fountain and a pond in the hall of the palace? These Ottomans understood a little in luxury. (Original) Не очень популярное у туристов место, так как находится на некотором отдалении от основных туристических троп. Благодаря этому народу немного, хотя по красоте и внутреннему убранству, с моей точки зрения, превосходит дворец Долмабахче. Ну где ещё вы увидите фонтан и пруд в зале дворца? Эти Османы немного в роскоши понимали.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND as it is a historical place in Istanbul (Asian side).

Best place and lovely people enjoyed alot

No access since January 2017 due to restoration works.......anyone’s guess when it will be open for visitors again. You have to walk around to the palace via the main vehicle tunnel which has a nice mural painted on one entrance.

Fantastic historical palace everyone should visit

Im obsessed with this place/palace.

Amazing

I have been there 2 years ago and I love it

I'm in love with coasts in general

I loved it.

Nice place

Landmark building

Very pretty, nice and interesting place

Come to Istanbul! Such an exciting and exotic place. Was here 7 days. Not enough time.

A very cool place to spend with friends

Mini version of Dolmabahçe palace. You can enjoy beautiful views of Bosphorus and take a tour of the palace where last Ottoman empire ruler was held captive. Definitely a worthy attraction on the Asia side!

Really wonderful place to visit. There is no crowd like in Dolmabahce palace, but it is just as beautiful and special. The courtyard overlooking the Bosphorus is magnificent.

The most beautiful park and museum I've seen and it's right beside the sea, it's very clean and taken care of, the museum or the palace is also very beautiful inside and out, the only thing that bothered me a little was the security guards watching people inside the museum and not letting them touch anything or take photographs but I guess that's for taking care of the beautiful palace.

Really beautiful castle which is well restored and where you'll get to see luxurious furnitures, ceramics, paintings and carpets. The place also offers a beautiful view of the bridge & sea just by the side!

A very impressive palace, specially the carpentry work of Sultan Abdulaziz. It's well preserved and maintained. Visitors will wow at each room, halls, chambers and majestic work of art.

One of the less crowded attractions in Istanbul, on the Asian side, but well worth a visit. Beautiful building, views over Bosphorus and manicured gardens. Entry fee was also quite reasonable. The coffee shop however is quite basic. You can take stunning photos here!!

Not much written information, if you are interested in the history you can hire audio guide. The rooms are vast and beautifully decorated. Security is tight so no chance of taking photos inside at all. Photo opportunities include the outside of the palace, the gate that opens to the seaview, and the seaview in general with the bridge in the background. Also had a small patch of bamboo in the garden which was random. Museumpass not accepted.

We went to early and there was a small line,we readily entered,paid parking area is very near to the palace enterance. Palace interior is very beautiful but the gardens are serene, green and has beautiful water fountains. View of Bosphorous is amazing too

We loved our experience at this palace! Both the inside and the oitside of the palace offered notes of a passed time, one could feel the emotion of diving into a different era. I felt such a pitty that one side of the palace was into restoration, as you can see in one photo, but the rest of it was great.

Awesome museum! That was relaxing to see the sea (and feel the wind!) and the inside is so fascinating. I highly recommend to visit ! However, going there by public transports was exhausting.

The last Ottoman sultan who was in power died in this palace. You can take pictures and videos outside but inside it's not allowed to take pictures and videos. Ticket cost is 130 lira for garden and palace they also have audio guide so take any ID proof which you will get back when you return the device

It is nice to walk around. They were in renovation, so you can not go everywhere. It was not do special for me, maybe one or two things were worth seeing it. You are not allowed to make photos

The positioning of this palace is what gives you the bumps (on the shore of Bosporus, under the 2nd bridge). It is not as impressive and rich as Peleș palace in Romania (for example). I reccomand visiting early in the morning, because if the parking lot reaches the full capacity than you have a big problem.

A must to see!!! The Beylerbeyi Palace, located at the Asian side of the Bosphorus, is an Imperial Ottoman summer residence built between 1861 and 1865. It was the last place where Sultan Abdulhamid II was under house arrest before his death in 1918. It provides magnificent views over the strait, the bridge and both the Asian and European coasts. Spot 1 h to explore and enjoy the beauty of the palace. Unfortunately, taking photos is not allowed inside the building. Highly recommended!!!

I enjoyed my time being in this place, the nice thing is you can buy the ticket to visit the park only in case you don't want to visit the palace! The view from the park is perfect! The only thing I didn't like is you can't take any picture inside the palace which is very weird because the internet is full of photos and videos of that palace!! But overall it's highly recommended 👌

its a great place near the sea side, the palace is pretty big and the garden is nice, the ticket is 130tl, worth to visit!

Great place I love it specialty the place is strategic you can have very nice pictures with castle background or with Bosphore background after that you can visit the small garden near to the bus station

What an amazing palace to visit. It will blow you away the amount of richness there. Otoman art at its finest!

Interesting. It was a cold day and just as cold inside. No photos allowed inside. Not worth a special trip but if you're nearby.

It was wonderful experience. Glorious and pretty place .you cannot take pictures inside ...highly recommend to visit Istanbul especially Beylerbeyi palace
