About
Hurtige fakta: Fra toppen får du næsten 360 graders panorama, hvor solens lys maler tagene i gyldne nuancer mens byen folder sig ud under dig. På klare dage kan du høre byens puls helt nedfra, små caféer summer, og mågernes kald blander sig med klokkers fjerne ekko.
Højdepunkter: Fra toppen kan du gå hele vejen rundt og få et 360 graders panorama over tage og glimt af vand, og ifølge en lokal fortælling satte et ungt par en rusten kærlighedslås på en af balkonerne i 1943 mens de hviskede at de ville mødes igen. Den gamle tradition siger at par som kysser på den sydvendte balkon ofte vender tilbage sammen, og når aftensolen varmer stenene kan du næsten smage saltet i luften og mærke ruheden under fingrene.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the surrounding streets are steep and cobbled and there are stairs even with elevator use.
- Head to the outdoor balcony facing the Bosphorus and Galata Bridge for the best sunset photos.
- Buy a timed-entry ticket online to avoid long lines for both tickets and the elevator.
- Skip the indoor restaurant at peak times, instead grab a nearby simit or tea and enjoy the terrace view.
