You should visit Galata Tower! It provides a 360 degree panoramic view over the city very close to the Golden Horn and nearby bridges. The price is a bit high just as all entrance fees in the city but it's worth. There's a small museum inside the tower where you can learn about the history of both the tower and also the city. Make sure to collect your audio guide as the staff won't provide it automatically. The description says that you need to scan a QR code but the staff didn't know about it so we got devices for our IDs. Totally recommend it:)

Well worth buying a fast track ticket as quite long queue at kiosk. The tower gives great views and the lift to the top is a bonus. Easy to get to either walking or by tram. Well worth a visit.

What a breathtaking sight! The tower is mesmerizing from the outside. Even though we didn't go inside, the surrounding streets were vibrant and full of life. The tower looked stunning, surrounded by charming restaurants, cozy cafes, quaint shops, and cobblestone streets, all contributing to the unique atmosphere. Definitely opt for the skip-the-queue ticket—it’s absolutely worth it!
