Not a widely advertised 'thing to do' in Istanbul. It's tricky to get to, especially if you're not fit as the hills on the approach from public transport are steep. That said, it's worth it! The views, even from the tower ground floor are amazing and from the 33rd floor, even better. The cafe is higher up and not too bad value for money. It was quiet and off-season when we visited so I imagine it gets very busy from Spring onwards. Staff were all helpfull and quick to respond to any requests.

First off the taxi to get there was around 100 euros to get to the building, once we got inside of the building we had to wait a long while just for the to tell us that this website was NOT a provider and we could not use the tickets, so we had to re-buy the tickets there (that were actually cheaper) and overall had a bad experience. I would not recommend using this tour with via tour, it was a horrible experience.
Amazing expérience nothing else. The panoramique view on Istanbul let you know how big is the city and understand the location of each historical place. You can see ships crossing the Bosphore.
This was one of our highlights when visiting Istanbul . The food was delicious and the view was spectacular . The only thing is they do not serve any alcohol but we enjoyed the experience !
Nice experience, wonderfull view of the bosphore et all istambul. You must visite this tower if You go to Istanbul👌👍👍👍
Its amazing place you must visit, But be careful its very high you can see the whole city (İstanbul) in panoramic view 💯💯
Amazing view, excellent location and delicious dishes, staff were very helpful, respectful and polite. Going up to 45 floor was excellent experience
The tower itself is very impressive, it has a very modern design. From different observation floors including the Cafe you can see the mosque, the Bosphorus and the city.
Incredible views - food was a fixed menu but very good and way too much of it. We chose lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recolmmend
The tower offers an amazing view over whole istanbul and the surrounding area. The skyline elevator is something that is not often seen, and it is such a pleasure to observe how you rise over the city. Despite my great fear of heights I did not feel any discomfort, which means the tower is so well designed that it suits anybody. Price in the Cafe on the 17th floor are also as affordable as in any other coffee or restaurant, so this is something also worth mentioning. Overall a very nice and enjoyable experience. I loved that they had a virtual background, where you can take a picture as you were climbing the tower with a latter 😉
