Incredible view of Golden Horn, especially at sunset! The history plaques are informative. Cable car ride was smooth but expect a wait.

Incredible views from the top! The guide's stories brought history to life. Cafe prices are fair, try the simit. Restrooms are clean. Worth a visit!

Scenic tour with phenomenal views of the Golden Horn. Peaceful boat ride and great cafes around. Plan for crowds, but totally worth it.
