Really impressive spectacle has withstood centuries and terrmoti, wonderful view of Istanbul...Italy has made the history of the Mediterranean and monuments scattered everywhere testify to that (in this monument e.g. we have Genoa)...what I wonder is what happened to us, how did we get like this?

Great views, great times. You can get some seriously good photos from up here (I didn’t as I’m useless with a camera). The price is a bit steep at €30 for going up a tower, but there’s an elevator up and then stairs back down. Nothing too demanding, and you can take breaks to read the information on each floor on the way down. Overall, a good experience, just wish it was a little cheaper.Marco

Support team discouraged entry even to the visitors who had purchased tickets in advance and onsite by telling that time is going to be short and you may not get entry.
Enjoy panoramic views from Galata Tower
Experience Istanbul from above at the iconic Galata Tower, a medieval masterpiece that has watched over the city for more than six centuries. From its open-air terrace, take in sweeping views of the historic peninsula, the Topkapı Palace, Hagia Sophia, and the graceful domes and minarets that define the skyline. Gaze across the Bosphorus Strait and Bridge, spot the shimmering Marmara Sea, trace the divide between Europe and Asia, and admire the Golden Horn stretching inland. On clear days, your view extends all the way to the distant Prince Islands. Linger as long as you like to capture breathtaking photos of one of the world’s most unforgettable cityscapes.
