Awesome

Not a widely advertised 'thing to do' in Istanbul. It's tricky to get to, especially if you're not fit as the hills on the approach from public transport are steep. That said, it's worth it! The views, even from the tower ground floor are amazing and from the 33rd floor, even better. The cafe is higher up and not too bad value for money. It was quiet and off-season when we visited so I imagine it gets very busy from Spring onwards. Staff were all helpfull and quick to respond to any requests.

The worst experience ever, genuinely don’t book through here

First off the taxi to get there was around 100 euros to get to the building, once we got inside of the building we had to wait a long while just for the to tell us that this website was NOT a provider and we could not use the tickets, so we had to re-buy the tickets there (that were actually cheaper) and overall had a bad experience. I would not recommend using this tour with via tour, it was a horrible experience.

Amazing expérience nothing else. The panoramique view on Istanbul let you know how big is the city and understand the location of each historical place. You can see ships crossing the Bosphore.

Exceptional panorama

We were lucky enough to visit the tower on a day with intensely blue skies. Spectacular panorama from the 150 height of the first station. The height is the right one to be able to admire the view while still distinguishing exactly the various areas of the city. 30 meters above about 180 meters is the bar restaurant of the Tower. Consumer prices are not particularly high. The tower, 369 m high, is visible from all over the city and seen up close is not particularly attractive. You redeem yourself by climbing it for the spectacular view that allows you to admire. Ticket for the climb to almost 20 euros for each, but it is worth it.

Dear for what it is

the tower is beautiful but difficult to access and the windows are room which complicates taking photos .. There are several traces of fat. The very high cost is not worth it.

Very nice view

Tower located on the Asian side, 15 minutes walk from Kısıklı Metro Station. The price is 900 Turkish Lira (about 23 euros in April 2025), no discount for young people. It's pretty expensive, but the kids were thrilled. Incredible view of the whole city. Very few people when we went there. We did not test the restaurant, located 20 meters above.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience! We are glad to hear that you and your children enjoyed the incredible views of the city during your visit. We understand that the price may feel high, but we're happy that it was worth it for your family, especially with such a stunning panoramic view. We’re also pleased that you found the place peaceful, with very few people around during your visit. While you didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant, we hope you'll have the opportunity to experience it on a future visit. Thank you again for choosing us, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!
