Beside the impressive halls, It was useful to learn a bit about the country's history. I recommend to all turists to get the audio guide. I rated Good and not Awesome because we were not allowed to take pictures inside the palace.

Discover the opulence of Istanbul's Dolmabahçe Palace with the convenience of skip-the-line entry. Let a multilingual audioguide be your compass through this grand residence.
Ascend to grandeur
Begin your exploration with the Medhal Hall, once a waiting area for guests. Observe the monograms on the Boulle tables and over the fireplace. Then, ascend the majestic crystal staircase to the Ceremonial Hall, home to one of the world's largest English chandeliers. Here, you can also spot the royal box where the sultans and their families would be seated.
