点评:We visited Topkapi Palace as part of a guided tour included in the Istanbul MegaPass. This meant we had queue jump, although to be fair we arrived late afternoon and there was no queue anyway.
The actual palace grounds are huge. There are two very large courtyards, both kept in good condition. There are also a couple of viewing points at the very rear of the palace, I think one was called “Baghdad Pavillion”. I would recommend exploring these as they offer wonderful views across the Bosphorus - a great spot for photos.
My favourite part of Topkapi Palace was definitely the Harem. Learning about the old residence of the Sultan was fascinating, and there were written plaques in almost every room explaining the purpose of each room. The Harem has been preserved in exquisite condition, but takes some time to get around. I would leave at least 45 minutes / 1 hour just to explore the Harem.
Overall, Topkapi Palace was my favourite of the large tourist attractions in Istanbul. I would definitely recommend a visit.
翻译:我们参加的是伊斯坦布尔MegaPass包含的导览游,参观了托普卡帕宫。这意味着我们可以免排队,不过说实话,我们下午晚些时候才到,本来就没什么人排队。
宫殿本身非常大。有两个很大的庭院,都维护得很好。宫殿最里面还有几个观景台,我记得其中一个叫“巴格达亭”。我建议大家去看看,因为那里可以欣赏到博斯普鲁斯海峡的壮丽景色——是拍照的好地方。
托普卡帕宫我最喜欢的部分绝对是后宫。了解苏丹的旧居非常有趣,几乎每个房间里都有铭牌,解释每个房间的用途。后宫保存得非常完好,但是参观起来需要一些时间。我建议至少预留45分钟到1个小时来参观后宫。
总的来说,托普卡帕宫是我在伊斯坦布尔最喜欢的几个大型旅游景点之一。我强烈推荐大家去参观。
