Topkapi Costs 3x More | Try This Palace Instead (Closed 100 Years) 🇹🇷 Topkapı charges triple what this palace does, and almost nobody visits it. Yıldız Palace was the last home of the Ottoman sultans, where Abdülhamid II ruled for over 30 years and watched the empire come apart. Then it closed.

I went to see whether it's worth your time and money compared to the famous palaces, and honestly, it might be the best value in Istanbul right now.
