What to expect
Beylerbeyi Palace museum complex
Set in a 19th-century Ottoman summer palace by the Bosphorus, the Beylerbeyi Palace museum complex combines ornate interiors with expansive outdoor areas. You move through the historic residence at your own rhythm, using your phone to unlock stories behind the rooms, architecture, and former royal life.
