In this video i am walking around the Galata Tower. The Galata Tower is one of the symbol buildings of Istanbul. It was built on a Hill in the 14th Century by the Genoese colony in Constantinople. The nine-story tower is 66.90 m (ca.219 ft) high.

The top of the tower offers a great panoramic view of the old town Istanbuls, the Bosphorus Strait and the Beyoglu district.

Around the tower you will find good restaurants, cafés, bars, shops, hostels, hotels and a colourful nightlife. If you want to walk from the Galata Tower (Galata Kulesi) to Taksim Square, the distance is about 2 km and easy to walk. There are always people, locals and tourists spending time, exploring and taking pictures around the Galata Tower.

If you have the time, visiting the Galata Tower in Istanbul is definitely one of the "Things to do in Istanbul"
