I don't understand why you should pay 30 euros for a tower when you can find better places to see Istanbul from a bird's eye view

The place is cool, like any observation deck. The views are wonderful! It seemed expensive, but as in any sightseeing, tourist city, nothing can be done.

It's worth a walk to the tower, be prepared that there are a lot of tourists, and a queue to go up to the observation deck in the tower.

I haven't been to the Galata Tower itself, but the area is traversed along and across, I consider the Beyoglu district one of the most atmospheric in Istanbul, I really liked it, I like to walk here on my visits to Istanbul.

The tower is beautiful, especially as it rises above the narrow and crooked streets🙄
A huge number of people, a long queue wanting to climb the tower, did not go, so they did not see from the inside😢

Very beautiful and very expensive. Autumn 2023. the price of the entrance ticket is 650 rubles. The family visit is quite expensive, but the queue does not get smaller from this.The tower is located 100 meters from the famous Istiklal pedestrian street.

You can only look at May 2024 from the outside.
For those who bought a museum card in Istanbul, 30 euros were wasted, because no one considered it necessary to warn when selling or change the price of the card (105 euros for 5 days). The tower is, of course, a symbol... but there was a feeling of deception, because this is the second most expensive object after the palace, which is included in the map, which is less and less justified!

A beautiful building with an amazingly gorgeous view of the city. The need to stand in a small queue during the season is more than compensated by the views from the tower

Great. The ticket is expensive for tourists. Find a Turk on the street so that he can buy you for pennies and stomp. Or purchase a subscription card. There are many beautiful legends associated with the tower

One of the most visited places by tourists. An ancient tower with a wonderful view of the city. There is an elevator for climbing to the top. I recommend going down the stairs, she has her own separate entourage :-)

Excellent viewport, everything is very modern inside, the elevator and circular staircase are preserved. Each floor has an exposition and its own view. At the very top there is an exit to the balcony, you can walk around. Very beautiful view of Istanbul

There are always a lot of people, it's beautiful both in the afternoon and in the evening, you can go upstairs, but you have to stand in line. Definitely worth a visit, you can get there by funicular or on foot.

Nice view of the city. Climb to the top by elevator, so those who are afraid that they will not be able to, feel free to go. There is an observation deck at the top, which offers a wonderful view of the city. Then an independent descent down the stairs, with access to the floors, each of which has a small exposition. In general, it is interesting, but there is no audio guide. There was a queue, I stood for about 25 minutes

The views from Galata are wonderful. There are always a lot of people. In October 2023 - entry 650 lira. You go up to the tower by elevator and back on foot. It is better to get to the tower by metro, so as not to climb the mountain, and it is comfortable to walk back.

During our visit to Istanbul, on the one hand, we were lucky to visit the Galata Tower: there was no queue at all and we were able to fully enjoy the visit. On the other hand, we were unlucky: the roof is under reconstruction, so the appearance suffers a little and there is no access to the open area. Despite all the nuances of the visit, in my opinion, it is mandatory

An unforgettable place. Stunning views. The observation deck was closed on January 22, 2024. A very interesting and informative museum inside the tower. There is an interactive part where you can read about the sights of Istanbul.

I wanted to describe all the beauty and uniqueness of this structure, but here's the price...650lir ... well, very cool!!! Come visit us at the Hermitage! And it seems to me that it will be cheaper. But everyone has their own concepts for prices, and for everything else...

The traditional dish of tourists in the numerous pastry shops near the Galata Tower is St. Sebastian cheesecake. It's worth a try!

An atmospheric living place. There are queues, but not long to wait, there are cool cafes nearby, it's better to be there early in the morning to take a nice picture without a bunch of people, but in the evening it's worth a walk, because the atmosphere is cool

Well, so-so. Of course, the age and the building itself are worthy of respect. The city is so all on the hills, so there are plenty of other free viewing platforms. I understand there is still an open observation deck, but we were only on the closed one, where there are large windows in niches. Well, it's not that interesting. Well, the price of course is also too high for the entrance.

It was a dream. Which has now come true. Incredible beauty. Power, space. The main advice is to visit in the morning. The sooner the better. A huge queue gathers around 12 o'clock, in the off-season, it's scary to imagine what's going on there in the season. Entrance is paid for April 2023 - about 1600 rubles. But it's definitely worth it!

A very beautiful view of the city. But tickets are expensive, 650 lire for one ticket. They take an elevator to the very top of the tower, and go down on foot.

The entrance is only 175 lira (it's better to take the Museum Pass right away) and the elevator to the top. For lazy people;) It is very interesting and fascinating to look at the city from a height. There are a couple of interactive items inside when descending from the tower. And the history of the tower is written in Turkish/English. I liked everything.

The history of the tower is interesting, it was built shortly before the fall of Constantinople. The view from it is unique. A circular overview of modern Istanbul. I was disappointed that the purchased general museum card did not work. And for the first time, I was simply not allowed to go to the tower. Moreover, this card did not work in the church of St. Irene either. But they apologized and let them into the museum. This card includes visits to many museums, it gives the right to pass out of turn, again, not to the Galata Tower. And the two museums that are included in this map and that we wanted to visit turned out to be under reconstruction. Here is such a service.

A great interactive museum. With a gorgeous view. I didn't spare the money for the entrance ticket. It was free for the opening. I spent at least half an hour on the observation deck. Plus it is convenient to start further to Istiklal Street

It is completely useless to spend a tenner to stomp up on foot and look at Istanbul. It is better to spend this money on watches, for example.

The terrace with the restaurant is closed for renovation... It's a shame, for 650 liras to look at the panorama of the city through the windows... If you have a Turkish ID, you can apply for a sightseeing card and then admission is free

Dreams come true, and it happened to me. A long-awaited trip to Istanbul. After getting to the hotel from the plane, we immediately went for a walk around the night city. And what a splendor to see the glowing tower. This beauty cannot be conveyed, it must be seen

As someone who was born and raised in Istanbul, I like the historical peninsula skyline better, it doesn't attract much up close, but it feels uncomfortable because there is no place to step in the restive places..

A must-visit in Istanbul. The observation deck offers extraordinary 360-degree views of the city. An elevator takes you to the top. We go down on foot along a narrow spiral staircase that winds along a narrow stone corridor. Going down under your own power, you can quite feel the height of this structure)
