Next to G\u00fclhane Park is the Topkap\u0131 Palace Museum. In its fourth courtyard is the terrace of the Mecidiye Mansion, famous for its legendary Bosphorus view. The Mansion was built by renowned architect Sarkis Balyan; it was commissioned by Sultan Abd\u00fclmecid and is known as the last sultan’s mansion in Topkap\u0131 Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to gaze at the Bosphorus from the unique location of Sarayburnu, both G\u00fclhane Park and Mecidiye Mansion terrace feature stunning views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAs a symbol of Istanbul and T\u00fcrkiye, the Galata Tower continues to defy time, with its history of 1,500 years. The Tower was built of wood by the Byzantines in 528, and rebuilt with masonry stones by the Genoese in 1348, after a fire. In every century since, the Tower has undergone restorations. Included in the World Heritage Tentative List by UNESCO in 2013, the 70-meter-high Galata Tower offers a unique view of the Historical Peninsula and the Bosphorus \u2013 undoubtedly one of the best Instagram stops on the European side for a perfect view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the S\u00fcleymaniye Social Complex is less elevated than some locations, the upper part of the S\u00fcleymaniye Mosque and the terraces around it offer a wonderful view. Especially, the area between the Golden Horn and Galata is picturesque and has beautiful views over the Bosphorus, \u00dcsk\u00fcdar, \u00c7aml\u0131ca Hill and the Maiden’s Tower.

B\u00fcy\u00fck Valide Han, which has three courtyards, offers a wide viewing area, especially from the domes. The Galata, Golden Horn and Bosphorus views of B\u00fcy\u00fck Valide Han are magnificent. However, part of the roof collapsed in 2016: countless years of visitors hopping on the domes to take photographs took a toll on the structure. If you visit B\u00fcy\u00fck Valide Han, please act responsibly and help preserve our common heritage and these historical artifacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a 1997 arrangement made with the partnership of TEMA Foundation and Ko\u00e7 Holding, Fatih Grove became the Fatih Grove Natural Culture Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fatih Grove and Otag hill offer a fascinating view of the Bosphorus reaching from the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge to the 15 July Martyrs Bridge. While Fatih Grove is relatively unknown, it has become more popular as a photography spot. However, the Grove closes early; its proximity to the Bridge is an issue due to the flashes used in nighttime photography. Do check entrance and exit times before visiting Fatih Grove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last period of the Ottoman Empire, Mihrabat Grove was given to Rukiye Han\u0131m by her mother, the Egyptian Abbas Halim Pasha, as a wedding gift.

Following a 1997 arrangement made with the partnership of TEMA Foundation and Ko\u00e7 Holding, Fatih Grove became the Fatih Grove Natural Culture Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fatih Grove and Otag hill offer a fascinating view of the Bosphorus reaching from the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge to the 15 July Martyrs Bridge. While Fatih Grove is relatively unknown, it has become more popular as a photography spot. However, the Grove closes early; its proximity to the Bridge is an issue due to the flashes used in nighttime photography. Do check entrance and exit times before visiting Fatih Grove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mihrabat Grove<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAfter passing the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, Mihrabat Grove is a little behind Kanl\u0131ca in the north. There is Fatih Grove on one side of the bridge and Mihrabat Grove on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the last period of the Ottoman Empire, Mihrabat Grove was given to Rukiye Han\u0131m by her mother, the Egyptian Abbas Halim Pasha, as a wedding gift. Today, visitors can stroll under pine trees and luxuriate in gorgeous views of the Bosphorus, as well as the mansions and groves on the European side of the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fethipa\u015fa Grove is especially known for its aromatic redbud trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The Fethipa\u015fa Social Facilities building was once the home of the renowned writer and philosopher Cemil Meri\u00e7. History, views and a delightful nature walk \u2013 Fethipa\u015fa Grove has it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to rumor, Sevda Hill got its name in the 1920s. A military school student known as Valentino Vahit \u2013 due to his resemblance to the famous Rudolph Valentino \u2013 and Belk\u0131s, a student at the American Academy for Girls, on the opposite shore of the Bosphorus, fell in love. The family of Belkis was opposed to their marriage so the couple met at the place called Sevda Hill today and committed suicide together. The hill was named Sevda (Love) Hill after this tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sevda Hill offers a unique Instagram subject: magnificent views from the setting of a tragic love story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAs a symbol of Istanbul and T\u00fcrkiye, the Galata Tower continues to defy time, with its history of 1,500 years. The Tower was built of wood by the Byzantines in 528, and rebuilt with masonry stones by the Genoese in 1348, after a fire. In every century since, the Tower has undergone restorations. Included in the World Heritage Tentative List by UNESCO in 2013, the 70-meter-high Galata Tower offers a unique view of the Historical Peninsula and the Bosphorus \u2013 undoubtedly one of the best Instagram stops on the European side for a perfect view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00fcleymaniye \u2013 Caulking Yard <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe S\u00fcleymaniye Mosque and the Caulking Yard, both built by architect Mimar Sinan, are part of the S\u00fcleymaniye Social Complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the S\u00fcleymaniye Social Complex is less elevated than some locations, the upper part of the S\u00fcleymaniye Mosque and the terraces around it offer a wonderful view. Especially, the area between the Golden Horn and Galata is picturesque and has beautiful views over the Bosphorus, \u00dcsk\u00fcdar, \u00c7aml\u0131ca Hill and the Maiden’s Tower. The Hagia Sophia and Hagia Irene are also visible from the Suleymaniye-Caulking Yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This inn, built by K\u00f6sem Sultan in the 17th century, is one of the largest inns in Istanbul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u00fcy\u00fck Valide Han, which has three courtyards, offers a wide viewing area, especially from the domes. The Galata, Golden Horn and Bosphorus views of B\u00fcy\u00fck Valide Han are magnificent. However, part of the roof collapsed in 2016: countless years of visitors hopping on the domes to take photographs took a toll on the structure. If you visit B\u00fcy\u00fck Valide Han, please act responsibly and help preserve our common heritage and these historical artifacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ortak\u00f6y Coast<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf the Bosphorus is one of T\u00fcrkiye’s most iconic geographical treasures, then the Ortak\u00f6y coast is certainly one of Istanbul\u2019s! We encourage all first-time visitors to T\u00fcrkiye to spend some time in Ortak\u00f6y \u2013 not only is the view magnificent, but the area has plenty of excellent cafes and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Great Mecidiye Mosque (better known as Ortak\u00f6y Mosque), located just below the 15th of July Martyrs Bridge, completes the view of the Ortak\u00f6y coast. This elegant Baroque-style mosque was built for Sultan Abd\u00fclmecid by architect Nigo\u011fos Balyan, and is featured in most of the photographs taken in Ortak\u00f6y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ortak\u00f6y coast, with views of \u00dcsk\u00fcdar, Kuzguncuk, Beylerbeyi and \u00c7engelk\u00f6y on the Anatolian side of the Bosphorus, is definitely one of the most beautiful Instagram stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set in Be\u015fikta\u015f Ulus, Ulus Park features lush trees in addition to wonderful views of the Bosphorus Bridge, Topkap\u0131 Palace and \u00dcsk\u00fcdar. Do keep in mind that the park can get crowded on weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rumeli Fortress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLocated in the Sar\u0131yer district, the 30-decare Rumeli Fortress is one of Istanbul\u2019s most important historical structures. Erected by Fatih Sultan Mehmet in 1452, one year before the Conquest of Istanbul, the Fortress was built in just 90 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rumeli Fortress is located just opposite the Anadolu Fortress on the Anatolian side: this channel is the narrowest part of the Bosphorus and, thus, Rumeli Fortress is an ideal location for views of the palaces, groves and pavilions of the Anatolian side, as well as the area from the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge to \u00c7engelk\u00f6y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nInstagram Stops of the Asian Side<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe Anatolian side of the Bosphorus offers a beautiful view of a long coastal road and a vast forest.

Ortak\u00f6y Coast<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf the Bosphorus is one of T\u00fcrkiye’s most iconic geographical treasures, then the Ortak\u00f6y coast is certainly one of Istanbul\u2019s! We encourage all first-time visitors to T\u00fcrkiye to spend some time in Ortak\u00f6y \u2013 not only is the view magnificent, but the area has plenty of excellent cafes and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf the Bosphorus is one of T\u00fcrkiye’s most iconic geographical treasures, then the Ortak\u00f6y coast is certainly one of Istanbul\u2019s! We encourage all first-time visitors to T\u00fcrkiye to spend some time in Ortak\u00f6y \u2013 not only is the view magnificent, but the area has plenty of excellent cafes and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Great Mecidiye Mosque (better known as Ortak\u00f6y Mosque), located just below the 15th of July Martyrs Bridge, completes the view of the Ortak\u00f6y coast. This elegant Baroque-style mosque was built for Sultan Abd\u00fclmecid by architect Nigo\u011fos Balyan, and is featured in most of the photographs taken in Ortak\u00f6y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ortak\u00f6y coast, with views of \u00dcsk\u00fcdar, Kuzguncuk, Beylerbeyi and \u00c7engelk\u00f6y on the Anatolian side of the Bosphorus, is definitely one of the most beautiful Instagram stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ulus Park<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor panoramic Bosphorus views on the European side, head to the hilltop Ulus Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Set in Be\u015fikta\u015f Ulus, Ulus Park features lush trees in addition to wonderful views of the Bosphorus Bridge, Topkap\u0131 Palace and \u00dcsk\u00fcdar. Do keep in mind that the park can get crowded on weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rumeli Fortress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLocated in the Sar\u0131yer district, the 30-decare Rumeli Fortress is one of Istanbul\u2019s most important historical structures. Erected by Fatih Sultan Mehmet in 1452, one year before the Conquest of Istanbul, the Fortress was built in just 90 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rumeli Fortress is located just opposite the Anadolu Fortress on the Anatolian side: this channel is the narrowest part of the Bosphorus and, thus, Rumeli Fortress is an ideal location for views of the palaces, groves and pavilions of the Anatolian side, as well as the area from the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge to \u00c7engelk\u00f6y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nInstagram Stops of the Asian Side<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe Anatolian side of the Bosphorus offers a beautiful view of a long coastal road and a vast forest. At almost every point from \u00dcsk\u00fcdar to the Anadolu Fortress, you\u2019ll want to stop and just observe. To save you some time, we have listed the most beautiful views on the Anatolian side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c7aml\u0131ca Hill<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe 265-meter-high \u00c7aml\u0131ca Hill, located in \u00dcsk\u00fcdar, overlooks both the Bosphorus and the Historical Peninsula and is one of the most beautiful places in Istanbul. Featuring picnic areas and a variety of trees, \u00c7aml\u0131ca Hill has breath-taking panoramic views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interested in bird watching? \u00c7aml\u0131ca Hill is also a terrific observation point \u2013 especially during the migrating season in September and October. That is, of course, if you can tear your gaze away from the majestic beauty of the Bosphorus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c7engelk\u00f6y Coast<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNorth of \u00dcsk\u00fcdar, Beylerbeyi and Kuzguncuk, \u00c7engelk\u00f6y is a charming village with narrow streets, centuries-old plane trees and picturesque historical mansions. From \u00c7engelk\u00f6y Beach, lined with fish restaurants, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view reaching from Ortak\u00f6y to Sar\u0131yer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When in \u00c7engelk\u00f6y, stop by its famous beachfront tea garden, which was featured in the 90’s TV series, Super Baba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a 1997 arrangement made with the partnership of TEMA Foundation and Ko\u00e7 Holding, Fatih Grove became the Fatih Grove Natural Culture Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fatih Grove and Otag hill offer a fascinating view of the Bosphorus reaching from the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge to the 15 July Martyrs Bridge. While Fatih Grove is relatively unknown, it has become more popular as a photography spot. However, the Grove closes early; its proximity to the Bridge is an issue due to the flashes used in nighttime photography. Do check entrance and exit times before visiting Fatih Grove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mihrabat Grove<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAfter passing the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, Mihrabat Grove is a little behind Kanl\u0131ca in the north. There is Fatih Grove on one side of the bridge and Mihrabat Grove on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the last period of the Ottoman Empire, Mihrabat Grove was given to Rukiye Han\u0131m by her mother, the Egyptian Abbas Halim Pasha, as a wedding gift. Today, visitors can stroll under pine trees and luxuriate in gorgeous views of the Bosphorus, as well as the mansions and groves on the European side of the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fethipa\u015fa Grove <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Fethipa\u015fa Grove, which offers a beautiful view of the Bosphorus and the Historical Peninsula from Sarayburnu to Ortak\u00f6y, is located between Sultantepe and Kuzguncuk in \u00dcsk\u00fcdar. Walking along the coastal road to the Grove, which is about a kilometer from the \u00dcsk\u00fcdar Ferry Port, is as enjoyable as visiting the Grove itself! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fethipa\u015fa Grove is especially known for its aromatic redbud trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The Fethipa\u015fa Social Facilities building was once the home of the renowned writer and philosopher Cemil Meri\u00e7. History, views and a delightful nature walk \u2013 Fethipa\u015fa Grove has it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nakka\u015ftepe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nA district of \u00dcsk\u00fcdar set between Beylerbeyi and Kuzguncuk, Nakka\u015ftepe is located at the exit of the Anatolian side of the July 15 Martyrs Bridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to rumor, Sevda Hill got its name in the 1920s. A military school student known as Valentino Vahit \u2013 due to his resemblance to the famous Rudolph Valentino \u2013 and Belk\u0131s, a student at the American Academy for Girls, on the opposite shore of the Bosphorus, fell in love. The family of Belkis was opposed to their marriage so the couple met at the place called Sevda Hill today and committed suicide together. The hill was named Sevda (Love) Hill after this tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sevda Hill offers a unique Instagram subject: magnificent views from the setting of a tragic love story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLocated in the Sar\u0131yer district, the 30-decare Rumeli Fortress is one of Istanbul\u2019s most important historical structures. Erected by Fatih Sultan Mehmet in 1452, one year before the Conquest of Istanbul, the Fortress was built in just 90 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rumeli Fortress is located just opposite the Anadolu Fortress on the Anatolian side: this channel is the narrowest part of the Bosphorus and, thus, Rumeli Fortress is an ideal location for views of the palaces, groves and pavilions of the Anatolian side, as well as the area from the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge to \u00c7engelk\u00f6y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Instagram Stops of the Asian Side<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe Anatolian side of the Bosphorus offers a beautiful view of a long coastal road and a vast forest. At almost every point from \u00dcsk\u00fcdar to the Anadolu Fortress, you\u2019ll want to stop and just observe. To save you some time, we have listed the most beautiful views on the Anatolian side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c7aml\u0131ca Hill<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe 265-meter-high \u00c7aml\u0131ca Hill, located in \u00dcsk\u00fcdar, overlooks both the Bosphorus and the Historical Peninsula and is one of the most beautiful places in Istanbul. Featuring picnic areas and a variety of trees, \u00c7aml\u0131ca Hill has breath-taking panoramic views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interested in bird watching? \u00c7aml\u0131ca Hill is also a terrific observation point \u2013 especially during the migrating season in September and October. That is, of course, if you can tear your gaze away from the majestic beauty of the Bosphorus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c7engelk\u00f6y Coast<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNorth of \u00dcsk\u00fcdar, Beylerbeyi and Kuzguncuk, \u00c7engelk\u00f6y is a charming village with narrow streets, centuries-old plane trees and picturesque historical mansions. From \u00c7engelk\u00f6y Beach, lined with fish restaurants, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view reaching from Ortak\u00f6y to Sar\u0131yer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When in \u00c7engelk\u00f6y, stop by its famous beachfront tea garden, which was featured in the 90’s TV series, Super Baba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Salacak <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSet within the borders of \u00dcsk\u00fcdar, Salacak is between \u015eemsipa\u015fa and Harem and across from the Maiden’s Tower, an icon of Istanbul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Salacak coast offers a view extending from the Historical Peninsula to Be\u015fikta\u015f. In addition, the small building on the beach \u2013 which used to be a ferry pier \u2013 is now a cafe with a magnificent view.

Otag Hill \u2013 Fatih Grove <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOtag Hill and Fatih Grove, located at the exit of the Anatolian side of the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, are among the most beautiful places in Beykoz. Following a 1997 arrangement made with the partnership of TEMA Foundation and Ko\u00e7 Holding, Fatih Grove became the Fatih Grove Natural Culture Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fatih Grove and Otag hill offer a fascinating view of the Bosphorus reaching from the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge to the 15 July Martyrs Bridge. While Fatih Grove is relatively unknown, it has become more popular as a photography spot. However, the Grove closes early; its proximity to the Bridge is an issue due to the flashes used in nighttime photography. Do check entrance and exit times before visiting Fatih Grove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mihrabat Grove<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAfter passing the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, Mihrabat Grove is a little behind Kanl\u0131ca in the north. There is Fatih Grove on one side of the bridge and Mihrabat Grove on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the last period of the Ottoman Empire, Mihrabat Grove was given to Rukiye Han\u0131m by her mother, the Egyptian Abbas Halim Pasha, as a wedding gift. Today, visitors can stroll under pine trees and luxuriate in gorgeous views of the Bosphorus, as well as the mansions and groves on the European side of the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fethipa\u015fa Grove <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Fethipa\u015fa Grove, which offers a beautiful view of the Bosphorus and the Historical Peninsula from Sarayburnu to Ortak\u00f6y, is located between Sultantepe and Kuzguncuk in \u00dcsk\u00fcdar. Walking along the coastal road to the Grove, which is about a kilometer from the \u00dcsk\u00fcdar Ferry Port, is as enjoyable as visiting the Grove itself! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fethipa\u015fa Grove is especially known for its aromatic redbud trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The Fethipa\u015fa Social Facilities building was once the home of the renowned writer and philosopher Cemil Meri\u00e7. History, views and a delightful nature walk \u2013 Fethipa\u015fa Grove has it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nakka\u015ftepe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nA district of \u00dcsk\u00fcdar set between Beylerbeyi and Kuzguncuk, Nakka\u015ftepe is located at the exit of the Anatolian side of the July 15 Martyrs Bridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nakka\u015ftepe is one of the most beautiful places to watch the Bosphorus, with a 50,000-square meter park and views of Ortak\u00f6y and Be\u015fikta\u015f.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For an Instagrammable moment close to the city, Nakka\u015ftepe is a good choice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sevda Hill \u2013 Anadolu Fortress <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSevda Hill, near Anadolu Fortress, features a Bosphorus view that includes two bridges.

For more information on the \u201cPearls of the Bosphorus\u201d, the Bosphorus mansions, please click here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to rumor, Sevda Hill got its name in the 1920s. A military school student known as Valentino Vahit \u2013 due to his resemblance to the famous Rudolph Valentino \u2013 and Belk\u0131s, a student at the American Academy for Girls, on the opposite shore of the Bosphorus, fell in love. The family of Belkis was opposed to their marriage so the couple met at the place called Sevda Hill today and committed suicide together. The hill was named Sevda (Love) Hill after this tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sevda Hill offers a unique Instagram subject: magnificent views from the setting of a tragic love story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yoros Castle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYoros Castle, dating from the Eastern Roman Period, is located north of Anadolu Kava\u011f\u0131. The Castle is among the important historical works on the Bosphorus, featuring well-preserved towers and inscriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
