What to see

Opened in 2021, the tower was built to gather the hill's many broadcasting masts into a single structure. Lifts take visitors to the observation deck, from where the view takes in the Bosphorus bridges, the old city and the Sea of Marmara on clear days.

About an hour and a half on the deck; combine it with Çamlıca hill and its tea gardens just to the north.

Views depend on the weather — choose a clear day, or come at dusk to see the city lights come on.
