5 reviews of Beylerbeyi Palace

Definitely worth it

In Istanbul we took several trips, one was a Bosphorus cruise, where we visited Beylerbeyi Palace, under the intercontinental bridge linking Asia and Europe. It was the summer palace of the sultans and illustrious guests, such as Eugenia de Montijo, the Shah of Persia, etc. stayed here. The best thing about the palace is its situation - in the middle of the Bosphorus with outstanding views and surrounded by gardens. Inside, the palace is a Baroque overloaded and all the furniture and decor are very well preserved (you're not allowed to take pictures). One of the things that struck us was a pool in one of the halls, at first we thought it was a giant fountain, but the guide said it was for bathing sultans and guests.

He also told us something quite macabre, the brothers of the sultans, when they reached the age of 40, were killed without exception, so they could not survive the reigning firstborn. They also said one of the sultans was a fan of woodwork, in fact some of the furniture in the rooms, they say, are the work of this sultan. It's a visit that I recommend, definitely worth it.
