This budget-friendly deal combines stunning views from the Galata Tower with a refreshing Bosphorus cruise.
Bosphorus cruise
Sail past Istanbul's history on a 90-minute Bosphorus cruise. Your cruise will take you past historical sites like Topkapi Palace and Galata Tower. Don't miss the iconic Bosphorus Bridge, which connects Europe with Asia. Keep an eye out for the Rumeli Fortress on the European side of the strait at its narrowest point. It played a crucial role in the Ottomans' conquest of Istanbul. Tune into the multilingual audio guide for details you won't find in the guidebook.
Galata Tower
Rising like a watchful guardian over the modern heart of Istanbul, the Galata Tower boasts a history as impressive as its views. First built in 1348, it stood as the city's tallest structure for centuries. There's no place like the tower's open-air observation deck for unobstructed panoramas of Istanbul. See iconic landmarks like Dolmabahce Palace, Hagia Sophia, and the Suleymaniye Mosque, their grandeur magnified by the sprawling panoramas of the Bosphorus and Golden Horn.
