Background music playing. So we are back in Istanbul again. We have
our museum passes which give us seventy two hours to explore the main attractions and
we are starting off with Topkapi Palace here behind us. And this is one of the oldest and
largest palaces in the whole world. Background music playing.
The sheer size of this place is impressive. At one point they had four thousand people
living here. Background music playing.
We've got amazing views from here of the Golden Horn.
Background music playing. Now we are about to enter the Chamber of Turbans
and this is where all of the turbans were worn by the Sultans were kept.
Background music playing. Circumcision room. Oh my!
Background music playing. It looks remarkably similar to the Sultan's
turban room. Background music playing.
That concludes our little visit to Topkapi Palace. The place is absolutely massive, so
we tried to cover as much as we could and hopefully we saw all the main sites.
