Would have been better if we had the audio tour but they wanted ID or 200 euro as a deposit, of which we had neither. It means you do t really ah e any info as there is Ken g to tell you anything when you’re in there. Think English country house with Turkish influences. You can see where the furniture came from purely from the style. Good grounds to walk in Worth a visit but ensure you have ID

It sounds like you had a memorable visit to the palace! The stunning views and proximity to the water must have been highlights. The requirement to wear plastic shoes and the restriction on cameras are typical of many historical sites to help preserve the space, but it's great to hear that these didn't detract from your overall experience. It's wonderful that you were still able to take beautiful pictures and enjoy your visit. If you have any favorite parts of the palace or specific highlights, I'd love to hear more about them!

It’s unfortunate to hear that you found Dolmabahçe Palace to be overpriced for foreigners. The significant price difference between locals and tourists can certainly impact the perceived value of the visit. While the palace is historically and architecturally significant, the cost can be a major factor in deciding whether or not it’s worth the expense for some visitors. If you feel the price is too high, exploring other historical sites or attractions that offer better value might be a good alternative.

Take water with you when visiting Dolmabahce Palace – it’s easy to get dehydrated, especially on sunny days.

The lighting at Dolmabahce Palace is best in the late afternoon. I got beautiful photos at that time.
