TL;DR

Topkapi Palace itself takes about 4-6 hours to visit, but if you want to see nearby sights without rushing, plan for 1-2 days.

What the community said

If your trip is only 7 days total, consider limiting the palace visit to half a day so you have time in the evening for other sights.

half a day

Plan around 6 hours just for Topkapi Palace; the nearby sights can comfortably be covered over 2 days without rushing, though it depends on your pace and daily schedule.

6 hours / 2 days

Topkapi Palace alone can be covered in half a day; if you just want to hit the highlights, you can realistically fit it into a single day along with the surrounding area.
