Camlica has been one of the most beautiful spots where you can watch Istanbul tours for years. But now, with the “Camlica Tower“, the size of it has changed a bit. You can have a panoramic view of Istanbul from a height of 587 meters. Everyone who heard this, of course, set out to visit the Camlica Tower in Istanbul as soon as it opened.

How to get to the Camlica Tower, the newest and most iconic member of the Istanbul city skyline, what to do… How much is the entrance fee to Camlica Tower, what are the visiting hours? I will answer many questions such as:

How many floors does the Camlica Tower have, how many meters? We will talk about architectural details such as the Camlica Tower and the restaurant of the Camlica Tower, of course, let my magnificent Camlica Tower travel guide begin!

How to Go to Camlica Tower?
There are not many resources for those going to Camlica Tower because it is a brand new tower. Of course, those who have travelled to Istanbul in previous years may state “We know how to go to Camlica”, but I will briefly talk about going to Camlica Tower by public transport or car instead of yellow caps.

Good news for those who say they will go to Camlica Tower by public transport, away from traffic! Camlica Tower is located in the middle of a triangle between Kisikli and Bulgurlu stations of M5 Uskudar-Cekmekoy metro and Acibadem stations of Metrobus. In other words, you can reach Camlica Tower either by Metrobus or by Underground Metro.

How to get to Camlica Tower by Underground Metro or Metrobus: I think Metrobus is the best option! After getting off at the Acibadem station of the Metrobus, you only have a 10-15 minute walk. You can already see the direct signs. Those who will come by metro should take the M5 Uskudar-Cekmekoy metro and get off at Kisikli or Bulgurlu. The walk on this route is about 1.5 km, but I must say that it will be accompanied by a pleasant view.

Now let’s move on to the Camlica Tower travel guide part; First of all, there are two viewing terraces that you can visit in the Camlica tower; Observation Terrace 1 (33rd Floor) and Observation Terrace 2 (34th Floor). Apart from this, there are two Camlica Tower restaurants; Restaurant 1 (39th floor) and Restaurant 2 (40th floor).

As I will talk about later, if you want to go to the restaurant floor of Camlica Tower, you need to make an appointment at the Camlica Tower restaurants in advance. Not allowed without reservation in advance.

If your aim is to go to the viewing terrace of Camlica Tower, you can go directly to the tower entrance and get your ticket from reception. When is Camlica Tower Open?
