Hi Kathy. We were there about a month ago. We just got the tickets for Topkapi separately. Depending on where else in Turkey you are going see if the museum pass will work for you. We’ve been here a month and various sites have cost us a fortune BUT lots of things aren’t included in the pass.
Can somebody please tell me how much is ticket for palace +harem part? No guide, no nothing, just a plane ticket. I keep finding some crazy prices online, and I cant belive is that expensive. Im not turkish(i found that they pay 200tl and foreigners 950tl?! )

I had visited in last January and paid 500 TL per person only for Topkapi palace, not for Harem.
