Voucher information: Show your voucher on your smartphone or other device (if you'd rather print a copy - that's fine too!)

Your host will escort you into both the Topkapi Palace and the Harem. It is crucial to stay with your host during entry, as re-entry into the Harem is not permitted if you leave. Please note, this is not a guided tour; the host will simply bring you inside the palace and Harem.

For families with children under 7, please bring their passport to ensure free entry.

Skip the ticket line does not exempt you from the security line; all visitors must go through it. During peak season, particularly in summer, you may still experience wait times to enter the monument.

Audio Guide - The app requires internet for downloading but works offline once downloaded. It is recommended to download the app in advance to avoid any internet connectivity issues
