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.
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 !
We were lucky enough to visit the tower on a day with intensely blue skies. Spectacular panorama from the 150 height of the first station. The height is the right one to be able to admire the view while still distinguishing exactly the various areas of the city. 30 meters above about 180 meters is the bar restaurant of the Tower. Consumer prices are not particularly high. The tower, 369 m high, is visible from all over the city and seen up close is not particularly attractive. You redeem yourself by climbing it for the spectacular view that allows you to admire. Ticket for the climb to almost 20 euros for each, but it is worth it.
the tower is beautiful but difficult to access and the windows are room which complicates taking photos .. There are several traces of fat. The very high cost is not worth it.
Nice experience, wonderfull view of the bosphore et all istambul. You must visite this tower if You go to Istanbul👌👍👍👍

Tower located on the Asian side, 15 minutes walk from Kısıklı Metro Station. The price is 900 Turkish Lira (about 23 euros in April 2025), no discount for young people. It's pretty expensive, but the kids were thrilled. Incredible view of the whole city. Very few people when we went there. We did not test the restaurant, located 20 meters above.

The tower is stunning I know for sure but the views are spectacular, the best of Istanbul for me. We ate at the restaurant on the 39th floor and eating with those views is certainly a different experience.
