by denniscallan_YT

Topkapi Palace is the most popular attraction in the city, so you should put it on top of your list and get here early, before 9:00 a.m., to beat the crowds and long lines. The palace originally had 5,000 residents, functioning as an opulent, self-contained city divided in various sections. It was home to the royal Sultan and the empire's center of government for four hundred years; it also housed the judiciary, Harem and the Palace School.
