What you pay and what you see
Beylerbeyi Palace, on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus, is run by the National Palaces Administration (Milli Saraylar Başkanlığı). Its Beylerbeyi page listed these prices on 30 October 2026:
| Ticket | Price |
|---|---|
| Foreign visitor | 800 TL |
| Turkish visitor | 200 TL |
| Reduced | 100 TL |
| Garden only | 100 TL |
The palace ticket covers the main building, which the page describes as its Mâbeyn and Harem sections. The page says the Sarı Köşk, Mermer Köşk and Ahır Köşkü pavilions in the grounds, and the waterside Deniz Köşkleri, are closed to visitors.
The garden ticket suits you if you only want the waterside grounds and the view, for example while waiting for a ferry or on a short stop. The page gives a single garden price without a foreign/Turkish split.
Children and students
Children aged 0–6 enter free. Students aged 7–25 with valid ID pay the reduced price, and foreign students pay twice the reduced price, which works out at 200 TL (the page states the rule, not the figure). Foreign students aged 12–25 must show a physical ISIC card. The Müzekart, the Turkish museum card, is accepted: the page's list of sections where it is not valid does not include Beylerbeyi.
Combined ticket with Dolmabahçe
Beylerbeyi has no combined ticket of its own, but the Dolmabahçe page sells Kombine III: Dolmabahçe Palace plus the National Palaces sites on the Asian side, at 2,750 TL for foreign visitors, valid for one month from purchase with one entry per site. It excludes the Küçüksu Pavilion picnic area.
At foreign-visitor prices:
| Your plan | Single tickets | With Kombine III |
|---|---|---|
| Beylerbeyi only | 800 TL | not worth it |
| Dolmabahçe + Beylerbeyi | 2,000 + 800 = 2,800 TL | 2,750 TL |
| Dolmabahçe + Beylerbeyi + Küçüksu Pavilion | 2,000 + 800 + 300 = 3,100 TL | 2,750 TL |
The Küçüksu price comes from the Küçüksu Pavilion page. The Dolmabahçe page does not name every site that counts as "Asian side", so confirm at the ticket office that Beylerbeyi and Küçüksu are included before you pay. Our Dolmabahçe Palace guide explains what the Dolmabahçe part of the ticket covers.
Opening hours and closed days
The ticket office is open 09:00–17:00; the site header shows "09:00 17:30", which suggests visitors leave by about 17:30. No last-entry time is published.
Beylerbeyi closes:
- every Monday;
- on 1 January;
- on the first day of Ramazan Bayramı and the first day of Kurban Bayramı.
Dolmabahçe and Küçüksu also close on Mondays, so a day of Bosphorus palaces cannot be a Monday. Topkapı, which closes on Tuesdays instead, is the obvious Monday visit; our closing-days planner sets the main sights out by weekday.
How to buy
Buy at the palace ticket office or through National Palaces online. The online ticket page lists Beylerbeyi Sarayı among its venues, sells a single-use QR e-ticket valid for 90 days and takes card payment. Its Turkish-language form is for Turkish citizens only, tied to a Turkish ID number; foreign visitors are told to buy a "Foreign Visitor" ticket on the English page, which we could not read. The National Palaces mobile app also sells e-tickets.
Getting there
The palace is at Abdullah Ağa Caddesi No. 12, Beylerbeyi, in the Üsküdar district. The National Palaces page gives no directions, and we could not read a transit operator's page for this stop, so plan the last leg with a journey planner on the day.
From the European side, you first need to cross the Bosphorus. Our Bosphorus ferries guide explains how the commuter ferries cross between the shores.
