Dolmabahçe Palace Museum

The pearl of Istanbul on the Bosphorus, where you will see many structures reflecting both European and Ottoman cultures. A meeting point of cultures and some of the finest examples of Ottoman architecture. One of the most important places you should see when you go to Istanbul.
 

Rich history: The Dolmabahce Museum is an important historical landmark as it used to be the residence of the Crown Prince of the Ottoman Empire, which spanned both Asia and Eastern Europe.

Unique collection of paintings: The museum houses paintings from the 16th to the 20th century, capturing the history of the Ottoman Empire through art and displaying them aesthetically in an elegant space.

Picturesque location: The Dolmabahce Museum is built on the shores of the Bosphorus Strait, which divides Istanbul such that part of it lies in Asia and the other part in Europe. This Palace straddles two continents as it is built on the European side and faces Asia.
