Public transport
Tram T1 to Eminönü, ferry to Üsküdar, then M5 metro to Bulgurlu. A short taxi or local bus covers the final climb to the tower.
Taxi
Direct taxi over the Bosphorus Bridge, traffic dependent.
Journey time
55–75 minutes by public transport · 30–50 minutes by taxi
Walking
About 8 minutes of walking between the ferry and metro.
Restaurant
The tower's café and restaurant areas sit behind the same panoramic glass as the viewing floors, serving Turkish and international dishes several hundred metres above the city. Breakfast is the calmest service; dinner overlaps with sunset and the city-lights view.
Reservations are handled directly by the venue — this website lists tickets only.
