Views for Days at Galata Tower

#summervacay Finally made it up Galata Tower and wow, those 360° views are no joke. You can see all of Istanbul, from the mosques to the Bosphorus, like you’re floating above the whole city. It’s kinda magical, especially around sunset. Total photo-op heaven, so have your phone/camera ready! The tower itself is super cool and old-school, with cobblestone vibes and narrow stairs (or an elevator if you’re feeling lazy, no shame). The top can get a bit crowded, but it’s worth squeezing through for those insane views. You just want to stand there and take it all in. There’s also a cute little museum inside with info on the tower’s history, and a café if you want to sit and sip while pretending you’re in a movie. If you’re in Istanbul, don’t skip it. It’s touristy, sure, but in the best way. Galata’s a vibe, the view’s unreal, and the whole experience just feels iconic. Would totally go again.
