Galata Tower
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- You compared the Eiffel Tower to the Galata tower. Haha. Anyways there are countless examples, the rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is €24. Etc…but why go there when there are such lovely attitudes like yours in Istanbul
- For the same price as the Galata tower you can go to the louvre
- Major attractions such as Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Topkapı Palace, Sultan Ahmed Mosque, Galata Tower, and Maiden's Tower are all impressive, though entrance fees are relatively expensive (around €20–30 per site).
- 4: Around Galata Tower
Cons
- For how little time you have, i honestly wouldn't recommend entering any paid attraction like the Hagia Sophia or Galata Tower (i wouln't enter these two even if i had more time) or the Topkapi Palace.
- €25 each for the Galata Tower and an hour wait.
- I would really recommend not forking over the insane ticket fees for the Galata Tower and even Hagia Sophia. There’s better options for free.
- If you had to drop one thing on Day 1 I'd drop Galata Tower. The views are nice but you'll also get nice views from the boat, from Topkapi, and – if you go – from Suleymaniye.
