点评:This palace is the largest in Turkey and was in use from 1856 to 1887, 1909 to 1922 and as the summer presidential palace for Atatürk from 1924 to 1938. Unlike Topkapi and Beylerbeyi Palaces this palace has a very European air about it, decked out in gold and crystal and with furniture and oil paintings brought from Europe. It reminded me of the Viennese palaces of the Hungarian-Austrian era. All the rooms are fully outfitted. You will see a lot of chairs, tables, chandeliers, vases, etc. Most decoration of the rooms is fairly muted but occasionally there will be a room which is colourful and awe inspiring.
Despite its European feel the palace was still divided into the men's public area and and the women's very private, less European style, harem. Throughout the carpets and bathrooms have a very Turkish feel. Moreover, this palace felt designed to be a practical administrative centre with rooms for secretaries and meeting halls as well as private areas for the royal family. In general the more privileged lived on the seaward side while lesser administrators were on the land side. The big halls had entries to the sea and to the land and were large enough to have horses enter.
There are placards in the main rooms and the direction of travel is clear. An audio guide is included in the price but you have to leave two forms of ID (passport, room key, etc) to obtain it or leave a 100 Euro deposit. It is worthwhile as it automatically activates when you reach a particular point and has more detail than the placards. There are a number of smaller rooms without any signposting or audio information at all. Two, in particular, we wondered if they were children’s or maids rooms. There are side rooms that you only get a peek at from the door and some where you aren’t able to see the whole room from the door.
The Harem, with its separate entrance, displays the Sultan’s mother’s and wives' apartments. There were a number of wives apartments where you only see the entrance to it with the side rooms totally unseen. Near the end of the Harem though there is a chance to see into the rooms of two wives apartments, one on the upper floor and one on the ground floor though their layout does not appear the same as the ones you merely saw the entrance for. Of interest is Atatürk's room on the second floor located in the former harem area. It is still outfitted as it was when he died.
The entry price for the Dolmabahçe Palace allows you to also visit the grounds and the Harem as well as the National Palaces Paintings Museum. We needed to show our ticket at each of these entry points. No photos at all inside are allowed. You need to put on disposable shoe coverings at each of the three places. We took about an hour for each place. The Clock Museum and Crystal Museums were closed when we visited. The gardens are pretty and you can walk alongside the Bosporus Strait. There are ample toilets and cafes.
翻译:这座宫殿是土耳其最大的宫殿,曾于 1856 年至 1887 年、1909 年至 1922 年使用,并于 1924 年至 1938 年作为阿塔图尔克的夏宫。与托普卡帕宫和贝勒贝伊宫不同,这座宫殿具有浓厚的欧洲风情,装饰着黄金和水晶,还有从欧洲运来的家具和油画。它让我想起了匈牙利-奥地利时代的维也纳宫殿。所有房间都配备齐全。您会看到很多椅子、桌子、吊灯、花瓶等。大多数房间的装饰都相当低调,但偶尔也会有一间房间色彩缤纷、令人惊叹。
尽管宫殿具有欧洲风情,但仍分为男士公共区域和女士非常私密的后宫,后者的风格不那么欧式。整个宫殿的地毯和浴室都具有浓厚的土耳其风情。此外,这座宫殿的设计感觉就像是一个实用的行政中心,里面有秘书室、会议厅以及王室的私人区域。一般来说,特权阶层住在海边,而低级行政人员住在陆地上。大厅有通往大海和陆地的入口,足够大,可以让马匹进入。
主房间里有标牌,旅行方向清晰。语音导游包含在价格中,但您必须留下两种身份证明(护照、房间钥匙等)才能获得它,或者留下 100 欧元的押金。这是值得的,因为它会在您到达特定地点时自动激活,并且比标牌更详细。有许多较小的房间,没有任何路标或音频信息。特别是两个,我们想知道它们是孩子的房间还是女仆的房间。有些侧房只能从门口瞥一眼,有些从门口看不到整个房间。
后宫有单独的入口,里面是苏丹母亲和妻子的公寓。有许多妻子的公寓,你只能看到入口,而完全看不到侧房。在后宫的尽头,你有机会看到两个妻子公寓的房间,一个在楼上,一个在底楼,但它们的布局看起来与你只看到入口的那些房间不一样。有趣的是位于二楼前后宫区的阿塔图尔克的房间。它仍然像他去世时一样装修。
多尔玛巴赫切宫的入场费还允许您参观庭院和后宫以及国家宫殿绘画博物馆。我们需要在每个入口处出示我们的票。里面完全不允许拍照。你需要在这三个地方都穿上一次性鞋套。我们在每个地方花了大约一个小时。我们参观的时候,钟表博物馆和水晶博物馆都关门了。花园很漂亮,你可以沿着博斯普鲁斯海峡散步。那里有充足的厕所和咖啡馆。
