The Beylerbeyi Palace, an important landmark in Istanbul, is nestled along the shores of the Bosphorus. Stepping into the palace will transport you into the glorious history of the Ottoman Empire. The palace holds significance as a residence for hosting foreign state guests, steeped in the charm of its past.

The history of Beylerbeyi predates the current palace. A summer palace stood here during the reign of Mahmud II, but it fell into disuse after a fire in 1851 and was subsequently demolished under the order of Abdulaziz. Construction of the current palace began in 1863 and was completed in 1864, with the arrangement of furniture and its official opening following in 1865. The Beylerbeyi Palace played a crucial role in the waning period of the Ottoman Empire and, during the Republic era, it was placed under the management of the Presidency of National Palaces in 1925, leaving an indelible mark on modern Turkish history.

Today, the Beylerbeyi Palace welcomes visitors as a museum palace, offering a glimpse into the glorious past of the Ottoman Empire and the unique history of the palace. Book your tickets to the Beylerbeyi Palace now and explore with an audio guide available in 25 different languages!
