The Galata Tower is a medieval stone tower in the Galata/Karaköy quarter of Istanbul, just to the north of the Golden Horn's junction with the Bosphorus. The top floor of the tower is located at a height of 52 meters and houses an observation deck. It is unlikely that you will find a better lookout spot in all of the city — simply stunning. The tower is one of the most iconic building in Istanbul and is a very popular destination. It's a good idea to come early in the morning to avoid the crowds.

Big events and bold ideas keep things moving year-round—from the musical madness of La Folle Journée, to the giant puppets of Royal de Luxe, to the open-air artworks of Estuaire, and of course, the surreal mechanical creatures of Les Machines de l’île. Art here isn’t just in galleries—it spills into the streets, parks, and even along the river.
