13 Places in Istanbul With the Best View

You can look at Istanbul closely, you can observe the details in its streets, a window in one of its streets, and the fine details in its architectural works. You can also look at Istanbul from far away. You can gaze upon the grandeur of minarets of historical mosques up in the sky, the elegance of bridges like embroidery across the Bosporus, the mansions located side-by-side along the Bosporus, or the magnificent palaces… We present a list of observation hills that you can go to see the unique beauties of Istanbul. Don’t forget to bring your camera. Enjoy the view.

  1. Camlica Hill: Camlica Hill, a place in Istanbul with one of the best views, is located in the Anatolian side of the city at Uskudar district.

  3. Galata Tower: One of the most historically significant towers of the world, Galata Tower comes first among the most interesting places of Istanbul.
