15 Best Places with Great View of İstanbul & Bosphorus according to Foursquare Users
İstanbul has the world’s pearl necklace: The Bosphorus. Thank’s to its geographical structure, the city has many hills and valley’s and Golden Horn around the Bosphorus which gives the chance to see this beauty from different angles.
Istanbul is one of the richest cities in terms of restaurants, hotels, cafe’s bars, teahouses and leisure places. There are many cheap and expensive places all around and most of them have great views of İstanbul. So preparing a list without the price category would be very hard, also the popularity will be other criteria because there are always some hidden places still waiting to get popular. The list from Foursquare useres are mixed with cafes, bars restaurants, hotels which have amazing view.

Tips and reviews:
One of the best views, if not the best, you can get from the Bosphorus, mixed with Turkish/sushi menu and a terrace perfect for summer times! Do not miss their kebab choices, delicious!
3. Mikla
An amazing view, great choice cocktails and nice selection of wine. Pretty much the best stop in Istanbul. Certainly not cheap but deserves it to the fullest. Friendly stuff. A must see.
4. Galata Tower
Awesome views of the old city. I would recommend visiting in the evening to take good photographs of the panoramic views of the city.

Great view, beautiful for brunches. At night with less Bosporus view I don’t recommend. Eggs Benedict for brunch is awesome. Staff a bit uptight. This place can get a better chef or menu!!!
