For all fortress lovers.
A great place with a rich history. You can climb the Golden Gate, which offers a beautiful view of the city and the Marmara Sea with ships going into the horizon.
In general, this is the category of attractions that, although not popular (too far from Sultanahmet, although there is a tram that can be reached in 25 minutes. And if you decide to walk from Sultanahmet to the fortress 1-1.5 hours on foot, you can also see the "non-parade" Istanbul)., but it is actively being restored and has good information support. In this regard, it was very reminiscent of our Izborsk in the Pskov region.
The price is more than affordable - 250 liras for 1 adult on 03.09.24.
Tourists 1.5 people.
I definitely recommend you to visit.
Reconstruction is underway, but it is open to the public. The cost is 250 lire, they give you a booklet. I love such objects. There are practically no people, the views are amazing, on the sea, on the city, very atmospheric!
It is better to go in the daytime, because the area is not tourist, near a cemetery, car repairs, car disassembly, vegetable gardens of local residents, a bus stop that goes to the city center, one cafe like a local tea-coffee sandwich.
A great place, with a minimum number of tourists. There is an opportunity to climb the fortress and admire the views of the city and the strait. The cost in October 2024 is 250 liras per person. There is a small cafe on site. They give out a booklet at the entrance with a description, which can help you get to know the history of the fortress in more detail. I recommend you to visit
