When buying tickets (admission costs 6 euros), the cashier girl immediately warned that the fortress is at the station and you can only walk in the garden (Oct.2024) In the garden, the plants have signs with descriptions in Turkish and English and there is a QR code leading to the Wikipedia page. For the first time I saw how pomegranate, laurel and walnut grow, it's interesting. The upper platform offers a beautiful view of the Bosphorus. There are benches where you can sit down and watch the passing ships. Next to the fortress you can walk along the embankment, there is a restaurant. There is a marina near the entrance, from there take the ferry to Uskudar. There were few tourists. The walk turned out to be calm and relaxed. I liked.

It works until 17 o'clock. It's empty inside, there's nothing to see. It's just that if you're an impressionable person, you'll be fine there. Around, next to the top, there is something to come up with in your head. Some kind of story, and since all the fortresses are in Istanbul. It's the same everywhere. We drove to the ITU University station, went through the bazaar, bought oranges and tangerines. We went down to the entrance to the fortress, watched, enjoyed and ate. I'm an impressionable aunt, and my daughter is a realist... well, she's so-so.

The Rumeli Hisarı fortress, with the construction of which the fall of Constantinople began in 1452, is certainly interesting as a historical monument. But as a tourist destination, it's nothing ... By paying 130 rubles you will get the opportunity to look at the towers and walls of the fortress, which are visible from a different angle absolutely for free. And there's really nothing else to see in the fortress. Except for the protracted restoration and the long-rusted elements of the scaffolding...
