About
Hitre informacije: Na vrhu se odpira 360° razgled, obiskovalci navadno zadržijo dih ob pogledu na rdeče strehe in daljave morja. Kamnita notranjost še nosi sledi stoletij, ob tem pa krožijo presenetljive legende in pripovedi o pogumnih poizkusih baloniranja, kar prostoru doda pridih skrivnosti.
Vrhunci: Veš, dosega približno 67 metrov višine in ima devet nadstropij, z vrha pa se odpira 360-stopinjski pogled: ob sončnem zahodu opečnate strehe postanejo žareče, veter nosi sol in vonj pečenih kostanjev. Legenda iz leta 1632 pravi, da je Hezarfen Ahmet Çelebi z izdelanimi krili poletel s krone stolpa do nasprotnega brega, zgodba še danes šepeta občinstvu občutek napetosti in čudeža.
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.
