Stop 1

Yıldız Palace has finally reopened its doors after more than a century, inviting visitors to rediscover one of the Ottoman Empire’s most intriguing imperial residences. Serving as the main palace and political headquarters during the reign of Abdulhamid II, this extraordinary complex offers a rare glimpse into the empire’s final and most strategically sensitive era.

More than a single palace, it is a vast hillside complex of pavilions, ceremonial halls, administrative chambers, and landscaped gardens. Unlike Dolmabahçe Palace, its layout was designed with both elegance and security in mind. Visitors can explore the magnificent Şale Pavilion, the refined Palace Library, the Hamidiye Mosque, and the iconic Clock Tower—each showcasing a sophisticated blend of Ottoman tradition and European architectural influence.

Set within a lush grove in Beşiktaş, Istanbul, the palace grounds offer one of the most tranquil green escapes in the city—terraced gardens and Bosphorus views included.”
