Topkapi Palace is an amazing place where you can let your mind wander into the past and imagine the lives that were lived here.
The Grand Bazaar is like the “Cave of Ali Baba”, full of sparkles from the true jewelry, the fake jewelery, the copper objects, the light bulbs. The smells can not also be forgotten. It is unique and amazing.
Topkapi Palace is good to walk down to see all the heritage , assets , beds , sword, there dresses then its a good to visit , also when u reach at the palace u can watch the beautiful view of asia and Europe at one point of time..

We Just Wanted To Let You Know We Had A Wonderful Time. Istanbul Was Amazing !
So impressed with how they put this together so quickly and got everyone where they needed to go. It couldn’t have gone much better. Such a great idea and so well to my budget.
Istanbul visit is incomplete without the visit to Grand Bazar. The roof shows beautiful colourful Islamic art.
