Topkapı Palace launches expanded night tours

Topkapı Palace, operated by the National Palaces Administration, has reopened its doors for night visits as part of its summer program, offering visitors an expanded route through the historic complex.

The tours will take place every Saturday until Sept. 13 from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

One of the palace’s special seasonal attractions, the night tours return this year with a broader itinerary. The Black Eunuchs’ Quarters, the Courtyard of the Consorts and Concubines and the Mabeyn Route Tile Art Gallery have been included in the evening route for the first time.

Having welcomed its first-ever night visitors in 2024 since opening as a museum in 1924, Topkapı Palace is continuing the program this year with expanded access to its historic spaces.
