Topkapı Palace I visited my first time in Istanbul, Turkey. As I wasn’t overly excited about it then, I really didn’t have any desire to revisit this time around, even though they have opened up more sections to the public. My lack of enthusiasm could, in part, be credited to me starting to loose interest in walking through room after room in palaces, looking at artefacts and relics, but I honestly didn’t think there were too much to be amazed by. Some nice features, yes. The Imperial Hall in the harem is beautiful, but alone not worth the, now steep, admission fee – there’s also an additional ticket required to enter the harem. When I passed by the gate, there were fewer people compared to the crowds at any of the other Sultanahmet sights – interpret it however you like…
