About this tour
The Genoese built Galata Tower in the 14th century, and over the centuries it served as both a watchtower and a prison. Your ticket gets you up the tower to explore its floors while the audio guide fills in the history. From the top you look out over the Golden Horn, the Bosphorus and the old city. Allow about an hour and a half; you make your own way to the tower.
Good to know
Hotel transfer is not included; you make your own way to the tower.
