Dolmabahce Palace
Definitely majestic, the major 19th-century palace of the Ottoman dynasty, contains suprisingly well-protected interiors, which can easily rival the Palace of Versailles. Due to its vast size, we will visit the "State Rooms" section of the palace. This is the most opulent section and terminates with a breathtaking hall, that has no equal elsewhere in the world in 19th century. Entry to the less opulent "Harem/Family Rooms" depends on the consensus of the group.
