- Arrive at opening or late afternoon to photograph the Crystal Staircase before large tour groups arrive.
- Leave large backpacks at the cloakroom and carry a small bag because room flow is narrow and bag checks are common.
- Wear comfortable shoes, many rooms have polished floors and extensive walking; dress modestly out of respect for historic interiors.
- Skip the Harem if short on time, the main palace and gardens contain the most dramatic rooms and views.
