360 Kule: lunch nearly 400 metres above the Bosphorus
Çamlıca Tower
On Küçük Çamlıca hill, in the Üsküdar district on the Asian side, the Çamlıca radio and television tower was designed to gather into a single mast the antennas that once bristled across the hills; it has been open to the public since 2021. At 369 metres tall, it towers over the whole city, and its operators present it as the tallest tower in Europe. Its 33rd and 34th floors house two paid observation decks; higher still, on the 39th and 40th floors, at 393.5 and 398 metres above sea level, is the 360 Kule café-restaurant.
A glass-walled room facing two continents
This is not an open-air rooftop but a fully glazed room, from which the view sweeps across the Bosphorus and its bridges, the European shore, the historic peninsula, the Sea of Marmara and the Princes' Islands. From breakfast to weekend meals, food is served at all hours: the café occupies the 39th floor and the restaurant the 40th.
Access conditions
The café can be visited without a reservation, subject to availability; the restaurant on the 40th floor, on the other hand, requires a booking. To go up, you pass through a security check: suitcases, travel backpacks, bottles, tripods and large lenses are not allowed, and pets are not admitted. The tower is accessible to visitors with reduced mobility. When booking, ask about any ticket requirements.

Open from 10am to 10pm on weekdays and from 9am to 10pm at weekends, closed on Mondays. Book on +90 216 440 40 40 or online. The tower's official website lists buses 129T, 34AZ and 34Z and the D-36 and D-61 dolmuş; the view reaches furthest on a clear day.
