In my opinion, the palace of the Sultan does not pull. It will fit on some large estate, but not on a palace. A more or less worthwhile museum with two huge diamonds, a collection of dishes, cool gifts that were given to the sultans. In Istanbul, one cannot fail to visit the Blue Mosque, at least one market, the Galata Bridge. A ferry or Bosphorus tour is a must. It is impossible not to drink coffee and try kebabs. But without the Topkapi Palace, in principle, you can do without.→
