Galataport Promenade

The area is very modern-looking compared to where I've been in Istanbul. I personally like the older buildings but I understand the charm of this area. At the time of our visit, it was very busy and a lot of people. The scenery was beautiful and breeze from the sea was calming. Unfortunately, not a lot of benches where you can sit and enjoy the view. The entrance might be intimidating when it's long, but the line goes forward very quick. Istanbul Museum of Modern Art is in the area which is great if you are into modern art.

A perfect place to walk, enjoy the views and sunsets, shop and eat

We just loved the promenade. After going through the security you just go out and enjoy the view. It’s a pity there were not so many benches to be able to sit a little bit. I know, it’s a promenade… it was very clean and not that busy. The view was great. We had a nice time there. One important point: Although we had to search the entrance for a while, we could finally get in. It should have been marked better.

The Galataport Promenade is truly a gem in the heart of modern Istanbul, offering visitors one of the most captivating experiences in the city. Located along the historic Karaköy waterfront, this promenade provides panoramic views that stretch across both the European and Asian sides of Istanbul, making it an ideal spot for taking in the city’s unique blend of cultures. What makes the Galataport Promenade stand out is its perfect balance between the old and the new. While the entire area has been rejuvenated with modern amenities and design, it still retains a strong connection to its rich historical roots. As you walk along the promenade, you can enjoy stunning views of the Bosphorus, the majestic Bosphorus Bridge, and the historic skyline of Istanbul, all from one place. The promenade is a little over a kilometer long and offers a wide range of experiences, from leisurely strolls and casual dining to upscale shopping and cultural events. Whether you’re visiting during the day, when the Bosphorus shines under the sun, or at night, when the lights of the city create a magical atmosphere, Galataport Promenade is a must-visit location that beautifully encapsulates the spirit of modern Istanbul. Galataport is not just a place to visit; it’s a destination that showcases Istanbul’s vibrant spirit and timeless beauty, offering both locals and tourists a place to relax, explore, and create lasting memories

Galataport Promenade deserves THE 5-stars because the Bosphorus Bridge and the sea agreed to serve main character energy. 🤩 Views so good, even the rusty bollard is feeling iconic!

This is a very beautiful walkway inside Galataport and right on the Bosphorus. Sometimes you will see a cruise ship or more anchoring here. This is a great spot to enjoy and take photos of beautiful surrounding views.

Very Nice to stroll around, many shops and restaurants are available. The prices are somewhat higher than elsewhere but you have more high end restaurants available.

A very nice place to walk you can see the cruise ships and the views of the Bosphorus also there is a lot of variety of restaurants clothing shops with prices for everyone I recommend you go you can also walk with your pet. Nice place
