An impressive marble façade overlooking the Bosphorus suggests there’s unparalleled opulence to marvel at behind the ornamental gates of Dolmabahçe Palace. Across the strait another continent beckons, and awe-inspiring views over the city’s skyline open up from Camlica Hill on the Asian side.

Spreading out over of 11.2 acres (45,000 sqm), containing 285 rooms and 46 halls, Dolmabahçe is the largest palace in Turkey. The exorbitance of this former residence of Ottomon sultans doesn't stop at the exterior. Its largest chandelier has 750 lamps and weighs 4.5 tons.
