Galata Tower is one of the most popular attractions of not just Istanbul but Turkey itself. This centuries old medieval monument erects straight in the middle of the capital and provides a panoramic view of the city. Also known as Galata Kulesi in Turkish, it makes its place in the skyline of Istanbul as one of the oldest and tallest towers in the city. Galata Tower is a nine-storeyed building having a height of 67 metres. A restaurant and a cafe sits on the top floors of the building from where you can enjoy your meal with the spectacular view of the city.
The tower features a restaurant and a cafe that can be accessed from the elevator inside the building. A souvenir shop is also located beside the ticketing centre. To go to the top for a panoramic view of the city, you would have to take a life and then climb three flights of stairs. The cafe gives a very relaxing and lively atmosphere, and you can enjoy the best view of Istanbul while having your favourite drink.
