This area is a promontory separating the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara. In Turkish it is called Sarayburnu, in English it is often referred to as Seraglio Point.
I named it the Topkapi district, since the area is dominated by the Topkapi Palace (Topkapı Sarayı), home to the Ottoman sultans and their women of the harem for 400 years. But don’t be blinded, besides the palace there are a few more spots in this area worth visiting as well.
- Topkapi Palace (Topkapı Sarayı) & Harem (Harem)
- Museum of Haghia Eirene (Aya İrini Müzesi)
- Archaeology Museums (Arkeologi Müzesi)
- Tourism Police Office (Turizm Polis Merkezi)
