The construction of Dolmabahce Palace cost 5 million Ottoman gold lira, or 35 tonnes of gold. This is equivalent to nearly $2 billion in today’s times. 14 tonnes of gold was used for gilding the palace ceilings.

“Dolmabahce” means “filled-in garden” in Turkish. The palace is located in what was originally a shallow bay of the Bosphorus. The shore was reclaimed in the late 17th century, filled in, and converted into an imperial garden.

The Bohemian crystal chandelier in the Ceremonial Hall of Dolmabahce Palace is the largest in the world. It weighs a massive 4.5 tonnes and has 750 lamps.

Dolmabahce Palace houses the world’s largest collection of Bohemian and Baccarat crystal chandeliers, showcasing its splendour, which was on a par with other grand European palaces.

Dolmabahce mosque, which was commissioned by Bezmialem Valide Sultan, the mother of Sultan Abdulmecid I, and built in 1856, was home to the Istanbul Naval Museum for 4 years from 1956 to 1960.

Larger than life palace with interesting turn of the century ottoman history of the sultans. Get the audio tour at the front! Main palace was about a 1 hour wlkthrough, with multiple side meseums showing artworks and histories of the period. Right on the waterfront also including a small cafe. Cruise was pleasant and had good views, going just before sunset was beautiful but at almost 2 hours was quite long.

The tour of the palace was perfect, but the cruise was far from the palace; we had to take public transportation to find the right pier for the cruise, which isn't really convenient for kids.
