Çamlıca Tower

4.3 ·

Rise above the city at Çamlıca Tower. Ride up to the observation deck for panoramic views over Istanbul's European and Asian shores, ideally timed for the sunset glow.

📖

Full description

Çamlıca Tower was built to consolidate dozens of old television and radio antennas on Çamlıca Hill into a single structure. Today it doubles as a viewing point, with an observation deck that reviewers say shows both the European and Asian sides of the city along the Bosphorus.

There is also a cafe-restaurant, which one visitor enjoyed before going up to the panorama level. It is open into the evening, closed on Mondays, and works especially well around sunset.

Families and couples make up much of its audience.
