Experience the best of Istanbul with our Daily Cable Car & Bosphorus Tour, combining history, panoramic views, and an unforgettable cruise along the iconic Bosphorus Strait.
City Walls: Begin your journey exploring Istanbul’s legendary City Walls, which played a crucial role in the city’s defense. The first breach occurred during the Fourth Crusade in 1204, followed by Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror’s forces in 1453.
Drive to the Golden Horn: Travel by bus to the Golden Horn, Istanbul’s natural and highly secure harbor. This inlet has shaped the development of the city, separating the European shore into two parts. Stretching approximately 8 km, its widest part is the entrance from the Bosphorus, with two streams draining into its far end.
Cable Car & Pierre Loti Hill: Take a scenic cable car ride to Pierre Loti Hill, named after the famous French writer. Enjoy magnificent panoramic views of the Golden Horn and the sprawling cityscape of Istanbul, perfect for photography and sightseeing.
Boat Trip on the Bosphorus: Embark on an amazing Bosphorus cruise between two continents, Europe and Asia. Sail past Dolmabahçe Palace, Beylerbeyi Palace, historic wooden villas, and mansions, all the way to the Rumeli Fortress. Witness Istanbul’s breathtaking skyline from the water.
Rumeli Fortress (from the Sea): View the historic Rumeli Fortress, a key defensive stronghold that helped Istanbul withstand numerous sieges before Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror captured the city in 1453. (Exterior viewing only)
Leander’s Tower (from the Sea): Admire the iconic Leander’s Tower, a charming tower on an islet at the Bosphorus entrance. Historically used as a watchtower and lighthouse, it remains one of Istanbul’s most famous symbols. (Exterior viewing only)
