Galata Tower

What's there?

The Galata Tower is the face of Istanbul. It is presented on our website and online magazine because it portrays the culture, and reflects the beauty of Istanbul and the combination between two continents that is beyond geographical. Climb up the tower and stray into the endless skies and horizons above the city, whether you are witnessing a sunset, or just a snowy day, it will be magical. It also is very close to half the attractions included in your Istanbul Tourist Pass, which makes things even easier. So what are you waiting for?
