Galata Tower

Medieval Galata Tower pierces the clouds above Istanbul’s skyline, a soaring structure to the north of the Golden Horn. A replacement for a previous tower destroyed in the crusades, this one was built by the Genoese in 1348. For hundreds of years, it was the tallest building in Istanbul – its highest balcony still has the best views of the city today.

    While the tower is great vantage point, overlooking the entire Golden Horn, the admission tickets are quite expensive and the place is crammed with crowds. If you decide to visit anyway, aim for the 30min before sunset

    Another joke which is not even Turkish, as most of the monuments. Anyway. 35 euros just to inside the tower. If you want to use the lift you’ll pay 60 euros to enter. Told you these guys are born thieves! Amazing.

    The place has amazing vibes with the cafes surrounding the tower and the cobbled streets and all but the crowd is just crazy. Everyone wants a pic there for whatever reason and they are a painful hindrance to enjoying the place

    It's good that they have installed a set of lifts to get to the top of the tower. So you are not walking up too many steps. Best to get there early or towards sunset to see spectacular views with the mosques and the sea across Istanbul.

    Definitely a must.

    Definitely a must. Go in the early evening as the night lights are awesome. Museum Pass is a must - this is one of the places you can visit with it. I bought a 5 day pass for 700 TL at Topkapi Palace.

    The location was super convenient and very affordable. Right next to several fantastic restaurants and the tram if you want to explore. Galata tower is right around the corner but thankfully, the hotel is tucked away in a quieter street. The staff is super helpful and offered recommendations to restaurants and shopping!

    I traveled with my family and we stayed 5 nights in this hotel. This was one of the best hotels I've been to. Solely cause of the location, which was phenomenal! You will hardly find a better one in the center of Istanbul. It is only a 2-minute walk from Taksim Square, where all public transport stations are located, whether you go by metro or bus. We had a room directly facing the Galata Tower. Also, the staff is so friendly! Especially Mr. Muneeb and Mr. Ahmet. Next time we will return to the same hotel!

    The staff was incredibly helpful and available 24/7. The location was excellent, right by the Galata tower and lots of cute streets for eating and shopping. The price was very reasonable for a 3 bedroom apartment. Beds were comfortable with AC in each room, small living room and kitchen with a table, couch, fridge and a little stove top for simple cooking. There was an elevator to get to the third floor where our hotel apart was which was perfect because we had our baby with us. Super accesible.

    We stayed at Doruk Palas Hotel in Istanbul and really loved everything about it. The room was very comfortable, and one of the best things is the excellent location – just a short walk to two metro stations, Istiklal Street, and Galata Tower. But the real highlight is the wonderful staff. They truly make the difference, always friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Bilal and Mohamed – we are very grateful for everything! Highly recommended!
