Located in the neighbourhood of the same name, Beylerbeyi Palace is the Sultan and his family's summer residence.

My suggestion

It is best to visit on a sunny day. Though you will be visiting the inside of the Palace, it is worthwhile taking a stroll through the beautiful gardens surrounding the building.

The Beylerbeyi Palace is the old residence of the Sultans. It's at the food of the main Bosphorus Bridge, on the Asian side, in the region of Beylerbeyi. This palace is a small version of the Dolmabahce Palace, which welcomes a swarm of tourists.

My suggestion

Perfect for travellers who don't have a lot of time.

Opt for a guided tour of the Palace, which very well structured albeit rather quick.
