Where Is Çamlıca Tower?

The address and setting

The tower stands on the Küçük Çamlıca hill in the Üsküdar district. The hill itself rises to roughly 260 metres, which is why the view reaches so much further than viewpoints down at the waterline.

Distance from the main districts

• Sultanahmet: 30–50 minutes by taxi, 55–75 minutes by public transport
• Taksim: 25–45 minutes by taxi, 50–70 minutes by public transport
• Üsküdar: 15–20 minutes by taxi
• Kadıköy: 20–30 minutes by taxi

What else is nearby

Çamlıca Hill park sits close by with open-air terraces and tea gardens, and Üsküdar's waterfront mosques and cafés are a short ride downhill. Pairing the tower with an hour in Üsküdar makes the trip across the Bosphorus worthwhile.
