I didn't get up. Entrance is paid. The greedy one took it. In particular, the suggested queue took away from the idea of visiting. But, standing on the square of the tower, I read about it on the Internet. The effect has been obtained.
I was there both in the afternoon and in the evening. Every time of the day creates, in my opinion, an exciting effect, due to the ancient streets and paved paths entwined around the square.
It's crowded.
Try the San Sebastian dessert. And beware of shoe cleaners. I got one here.
It is beautifully illuminated at night. It smells like history here, yes. The view from the tower is indeed of the whole city, but... I don't know, I don't think it's necessary to climb it.
The entrance fee is 100 liras. Earlier, as I understood, it was cheaper, since there was an option to climb only to the observation deck, but after the reconstruction inside, they made an elevator and put expositions on each flight (not very worthwhile, as for me), in connection with which Galata was designated as a museum, and hence a natural price increase.
It is expensive for an observation deck, boring for a museum.) It makes sense if you have bought an Istanbul ticket, which assumes unlimited access to any museums in the city.
And you can watch the same view from the plane to the city))) 🤷🏻♀️ Well, or look for other locations (they say there is a restaurant and an observation deck on the new TV tower, where there is more space, for example).

A great place to visit and explore the history of Istanbul and Turkey. You need to come early in the morning so as not to stand in a wild queue.
The entrance is 175 lira, there is an audio guide in Russian + another 40 lira. There is a modern elevator inside the tower, which pleased me in such a heat, there is no need to climb the steps. Upstairs there is a mock-up of Istanbul with the main attractions, an outdoor area with a wonderful view. Go down the stairs already, on each floor there are different exhibits for familiarization.
The view is gorgeous, but for July 2023 the entrance is 350 liras(1400 rubles), with an audio guide 420 liras(1680 rubles)
In general, all prices for the sights of Istanbul are indicated incorrectly. For example, the Dolmabahce Palace now costs 650 lire
Prices are changing before our eyes, terrible inflation
I was in the evening. The queue is on the rise. The ticket is translated into rubles 2100 +.... And so the atmosphere around her is pleasant. But it is quite crowded even at night.
Wonderful view of the city, especially at night. There is a queue, as well as for all the sights of Istanbul, and the ticket price is 350 liras in May 2023.
We looked at it late at night, it looks good from the outside. The only thing is a very expensive entrance (650 liras), my husband and I decided that we would do without lifting😄
Visited 14.07.23. Ticket price 650 l. It works until 22.00. There was a queue, moving fast.The auto guide is issued up to 20.00! The view from above is gorgeous! We didn't go in vain!
I'll give you 5 for the view from the top of Istanbul! When you go down the stairs, you drain yourself in the Middle Ages (fascinating) of the minuses, the price is undoubtedly 350 lira (1,500 rubles) and the queue! It's worth going up to see!!!
Very beautiful. It is best to go to the opening in the morning, there is almost no one. No queues.
The weather is great and it's not hot in the morning.
Inside, you take the elevator, but you have to go down the stairs. The entrance is 175 liras. With an audio guide, it's a little more expensive.
The view from the tower is cool, the place is colorful, but there are a lot of people in the tower itself, a huge queue and very, very expensive! A one-time visit, for show 😜
Everything is cool, but the queue... Locals are constantly pestering you with an offer to pass without waiting in line. The service is relevant, but intrusive...
View of half of Istanbul, the place is beautiful. We were stuck in the elevator, it was hot because the electricity was turned off and the air conditioner with it. But they were quickly released
