Enjoying the views, the tower and the view from the tower is extremely difficult due to the huge popularity. Even at night there are a lot of tourists.
Must- see.
A place where you definitely need to return ☺️

Well, everything is clear here anyway) It is impossible not to get a boost of energy walking along Istiklal Street and near the tower. The atmosphere is amazing. Especially if you have dinner in a cafe near the tower itself

Istanbul is a beautiful eclectic city. Absolutely safe and friendly. Lots of food, tea and sweets. I always bring inexpensive souvenirs.
The tower used to be illuminated with blue backlight. It is currently under restoration and is not illuminated… But the atmosphere around is not disturbed: there are many tourists and places where you can have a snack and drink coffee.

The cost of the Tower is 30 euros, there are options to look at it from the outside next to some kind of observation deck, but I wanted to go inside. There is also an observation deck, the view is unreal, there are a lot of people, but everyone is tolerant and friendly.

The Tower offers a great view of Istanbul. I got up with pleasure. There's an elevator, walk back. There are expositions on each floor. Interesting. I stood in line for about 15 minutes.

A super place and not only the architecture but a bunch of different restaurants and shops. A must-visit when visiting Istanbul.There is a cafe opposite the tower where the most famous dessert is Turkish, although not cheap, but very tasty

We didn't go upstairs, there was a long queue. We walked around the area. We were heading from Galata Bridge towards Istiklal Avenue (Istiklal). It was very interesting to walk along the streets

An iconic place in Istanbul. The climb to the tower costs 30 euros. Apparently, there is a magnificent view from the observation deck.
There are a legion of cats around!

Istanbul without visiting the Galata Tower is not possible to imagine the whole, magnificent view of the city and the Bosphorus. Tickets can be bought not only in the trailer on the square, but also in the tower itself by the elevator, the cost is 350 liras.

It's more beautiful in the photo than in person. Yes, it is unusual, but still we did not go for $ 60 because of it. We bought a card for 100 liras and took the tram. But I 'll tell you honestly , I wasn 't impressed . So is the Galatchky Bridge. Nothing special 🤷♀️🤦♀️

The tower is a symbol of Istanbul. It is located near the Galata Bridge. It is convenient to climb to the tower by funicular. The main lift is by elevator, which is very convenient and you need to climb the stairs a little.
The panorama from the height of the tower is not unique, but it is beautiful. In addition to the panorama on different floors of the tower, the history of the Venetian city of Galata.
It wasn't even the price of 350lir that upset me, although it was expensive, but there was a long queue. It's exhausting to stand in the heat.

It's a beautiful view, an interesting story , but it's too expensive for such a museum. 30€ and a long queue. But if you have a museum map of Istanbul, it may be worth visiting this place.

The red view opens from the tower and the tower itself inside is also well made, with an exhibition/museum. There is even an elevator for those who find it difficult to climb the spiral staircase.

A beautiful, ancient building with an observation deck. The view of Istanbul is wonderful from all sides, but people are being deceived at the checkout, the sign says 30 euros, and they sell for an order of magnitude more expensive, allegedly with headphones...We refused headphones and bought an entrance ticket for 30 euros!

The historical landmark of Istanbul is of the first level or list,
but I liked the Dolmabahce and Topkapi palaces, Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern more.
Only the view of the city is beautiful here.
As a landmark, the tower is also good.
The queue is long.

The tower, of course, impressed! An ancient building. It takes your breath away! Stairs, like in historical films. I'm not talking about the view at all. It's super! We were in the evening, everything was on fire. There are many windows all around, so there is a view of Istanbul from all sides. I recommend it!

I found myself in Istanbul and decided to try the San Sebastian dessert, there is a lot of talk about it on the Internet. People of all nationalities come to the cafes on this street, take photos and taste this dessert. I liked it, it was fresh and delicious.

Beautiful, of course, at night there are some projections on the facade. The entrance inside is 30€, very expensive, to look from a height you can find a cafe with observation decks nearby.

Now in October 2024, admission costs 30 euros! The view from the tower is amazing for the whole of Istanbul! But this year the prices in Istanbul are just very high for everything!

Fabulously beautiful! I really liked the area and the area where the tower is located.
There is a long queue at the observation deck, and in general, there are a lot of people at lunchtime. If you want beautiful photos, come before 09:00, at this time it is quiet and there are no crowds of tourists.

An interesting tower with an interesting history, but it takes many steps to climb it. Anyway, the photos from the cafe nearby are great.

The building itself is majestic, they walked only outside, because they did not want to waste time standing in a huge queue to get into it. As we later found out, it's not particularly comfortable inside if you want to take a photo.
The price tag is also not cheap

A huge number of people, mostly tourists, are very colorful))

It is advisable to climb on foot since the cars have very narrow streets, there are a lot of people, paid Parking, so many nerves were left, I would think whether it would be worth it if I knew what and how
The queues are small, tickets are much more expensive than their own. There are a lot of cafes nearby, but the prices are very biting after going down a few streets, you can have a normal lunch

The symbol of Istanbul! It is definitely recommended to visit. There is a great panoramic view from above. Well, good photos come from the series "and I was here." The road to the tower is also interesting in itself because it passes through the old quarters, "breathing history". Of the minuses, you need to be ready to pay for an elevator ride (no alternative) in terms of about $ 20 per soul in 2023 and a load of descent back on your own two (also no alternative)... It may be a little cramped upstairs, but the audience is very diverse, which is interesting in itself...

A beautiful view opens from this tower, but its importance has been overestimated. The ticket price is not worth it. For this money, you don't want to stand in a general queue for two hours, get up and wait for an opportunity to take a good picture, since the observation deck is narrow, and there are infinitely many people allowed in.

Plus: beautiful view from the tower
Minus: do not take the audioguide costs 800 liters. They will give you unnecessary headphones, and if you do not have mobile Internet, then the audio kit does not work. Just throw the money away. I saw that some of the visitors were already at the entrance, these headphones were discharged and did not work

One of the business cards of Istanbul. It is worth taking the time to reach the tower and see it with your own eyes. If there is a desire and an opportunity, it is definitely worth climbing it to see the city from a bird's eye view

Well-maintained, if it is a preserved original, then praise the locals, but the impression is that they use all their antiquity until it falls apart, what was well built has been well preserved. Admission is 25€-I did not go, the queues are huge

It's nice, nice to sit in a cafe with a view of the Galatskub tower, the spirit from Arina, although there are repair works nearby, but they are not eternal, and history is eternal, especially if you treat it carefully.

Who am I to evaluate the Galata Tower in Istanbul? She'll outlive a bunch more generations. I'll try to look at it myself. Evaluate and keep your opinion to yourself since she absolutely does not care about him

The views are very beautiful, but! The price is 1100 rubles for entry for tourists, it's 3300 rubles, it's just a nightmare! We were on the tower for a maximum of 20 minutes, and for that 3300??!!! Right here is the only negative

The tower is certainly beautiful ... but it is impossible to see, and even take pictures.. There are 100,500 tourists in the frame at once, and it's not in season..Well, the queues are huge.. the cost of the visit.. yeah. And as a place in Istanbul to visit, of course!

The famous landmark of Istanbul, left over from the Florentines. We walked around the tower, but did not climb the tower itself, because there was a long queue.

One of the symbols of Istanbul. I recommend visiting it as an iconic landmark. There is a circular walking balcony at the top, which offers beautiful views of the city and the Bosphorus. There is a separate queue for tickets and entrance, so if there are several people, I recommend standing in two queues at once, so you will save half the time.

There is a gift shop next to the tower, there are many promotions for the purchase, it turns out to be more profitable than buying souvenirs in other stores. You can pay by card. Payment for visiting the tower is paid in a trailer nearby, during the daytime it is not very interesting, in the evening there is a light show, it is much more interesting to watch, there are many cafes and shops on the street nearby

The tour and the climb to the tower cost me 650 Turkish lira. I didn't plan in advance, but once I was nearby, I decided to visit because I felt the attraction. I wanted to touch and be filled with the energy of antiquity that has come down to our days. The first thing that came to mind at the sight of this architectural work of art was the tale of the sleeping beauty. I wanted to climb the spiral staircase, as the princess did, to the very attic, and suddenly there is still an old woman's spinning wheel and a spindle on which the girl pricked herself…
I got so many unforgettable emotions!
And later I found out that there used to be a lighthouse at this place.

It was in April 2024. He lived nearby. A very pleasant place. There are a lot of cafes. A pleasant fuss. It's all at the level of sensations... But I really liked it. It's a pity that the tower is closed now

Vain! If you turn into the alleys from the main street, you can plunge into the interesting labyrinths of old narrow streets with an Istanbul flavor, small coffee shops and small shops.
