One of Istanbul’s most iconic landmarks, the Galata Tower adorns the city’s skyline. Bearing witness to both the Byzantine and Ottoman eras, today it remains a must-visit stop for those who want to admire Istanbul’s breathtaking views. With its historic atmosphere, impressive architecture, and panoramic Bosphorus vistas, the Galata Tower continues to be one of the city’s most special spots.

Rising above the narrow streets of the Galata district, the tower lifts you not only upward but also back through time. From the top, you can gaze across the Marmara Sea, the Golden Horn, Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque, reading Istanbul’s history with your own eyes.

With the audio guide app, you can explore the tower at your own pace, learning legendary tales and architectural details from past to present. The story of Hezarfen Ahmed Çelebi’s legendary flight from Galata Tower to Üsküdar still lingers in Istanbul’s winds, adding to the magic of this remarkable structure.
