A tower that can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. It is very convenient to settle near her — you will never get lost.
But to get inside, you need to stand in 2 huge queues: one for tickets, the second for entry.
We did not check whether it was worth the time spent.
Well, yes - history!! What can I say! But what a thrill it is to go to the top of this UNREALISTIC number of steps to look at people from above (maybe there is some kind of special view there)🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I went up to the restaurant by elevator, in my hotel, and a soooo view opened at sunset that the tower was just resting, well, I'm sorry... and even fed👍
A beautiful panoramic view of the city opens from the height. It is far from the highest point in Istanbul, but, nevertheless, it is beautiful.
Take the elevator up, down the authentic tower stairs
The tower is nothing unusual. You can climb to the top - the view is beautiful, but not particularly surprising. I don't particularly recommend standing in line, impressions, there won't be much.

About 7k ticket to this tower. She is the symbol of Istanbul. It offers a beautiful view of the whole city. There is an elevator that will take you upstairs. And down - a descent down a narrow epic staircase
At the beginning of March 2024, it was under reconstruction, there is a very dense building around, it is almost impossible to take a picture against its background
Cheesecake with coffee and a view of the Galata Tower, what could be more beautiful?!! This is something that will remain in your memory for a lifetime!
A very beautiful building. The queue is big. The ticket is on the spot. There is a cafe and street food nearby. The tour is on request. The place is beautiful.
It's interesting, it's worth a visit, look at the city from above, drink tea against the background of the tower with the famous San Sebastian cheesecake!
Previously, a visit to the tower was included in a single museum ticket, in 24 it costs 650 lira, it is not worth the money, it seems to me it is better to visit the basilica cistern.
The tower is beautiful in itself. Her story is beautiful. But. I didn't go upstairs. The entrance fee is higher than the roof, and this despite the fact that the upper open observation deck is closed for repairs.
It's a cool place, in the center, you can see almost the whole city in all directions from it. Tickets are sold nearby at a kiosk, the cost is like 300 lira, if I'm not mistaken.
I don't recommend it. Horse ticket prices, plus you need to pay for the lift, you will be robbed, robbed. As for the view, it's not worth it, there are many restaurants in Istanbul with a cooler view....
