Things To Do
Best Things to Do in Üsküdar
Mosques, waterfront tea gardens and the neighbourhood around the tower.
A half-day plan
- Arrive by ferry for the skyline view on the crossing
- Mihrimah Sultan and Şemsi Pasha mosques by the water
- Tea and simit on the waterfront promenade
- Metro plus taxi up to Çamlıca Tower for sunset
Why it works
Üsküdar is residential and unhurried, so it makes a good contrast to Sultanahmet. Combining it with the tower turns a single attraction into a full, coherent day on the Asian side.
