Istanbul Iconic place to visit Galata Tower

If you are just here for a few days stop over be sure to visit the Galata tower area! So I begin from the opposite side where i took a tram and alighted near the Rustem Pasha Mosque 🕌 it was beautiful as you can see from the view! I walk through a little from the Egyptian Bazar and cross over the Galata Bridge. Its quite abit of walk but doable and good to take some photographs along the way. However, keep a look out for the seagulls there are tonnes of them flying around ! Beware of the pooping :) Once you cross the Galata bridge you will walk a little more towards galata tower! The lane looks beautiful and you should take a photo here for the best view of it. I wouldnt recommend going up the tower because there isnt really much to see up there since the views are kinda similar -instead I would suggest to perhaps pick one restaurant beside or one with a rooftop to have a close up view of the galata tower! There are many options for cafe here with great dessert and tea ! #galatatower #galatabridge #istanbul #turke
