TOPKAPI PALACE MUSEUM

Some of my friends asked me to give information on places to see in Turkey. So from now on, I will be giving informaiton on these too...

Here is a start:

Topkapi Palace Museum is located in Sultanahmet, Istanbul. For your info, the museum is closed on Tuesdays but other than that; it is open everyday between 09:00-17:00. Topkapi Palace was built by Mehmet the Conqueror immediately after the conquest of Istanbul. It cnsists of pavillions surrounded by four large courtyards with the treasury and the harem being of particular interest. Also when you are there, you will be able to visit the 6th century Church of St. Irene.

Hotel Istanbul said...

I guess choosing a hotel to stay in Turkey is not very difficult. Every tourist here might experience what he/she just hopes during their visit to this cultural country.
