Top 12 places to take a selfie in Istanbul

Selfies have become an essential part of travel, and as a result, have become an essential part of Istanbul. Now considered the perfect travel photo

And it should make clear how amazing your journey is across Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and every other social media platform.

Show what the saga of your trip to Istanbul was like with selfies from these spots!

Galata Tower

This tower was built in the 14th century by Genoa and has played an important role in Istanbul’s history since then, and most importantly an important part of Istanbul’s skyline since then! This was once the highest point in the city, as Hazarvin Ahmed Chalabi uses his industrial wings to “fly” across the Bosphorus.

Today you can get a full 360 panoramic view of the entire city from one of the most iconic buildings. Stand at the right spot where Hazarfen came down and grab every inch of the stunning city skyline for your background!

Pierre Loti Hill

Looking for the best views over the Golden Horn? Well, there’s no question where they lie – here, at the top of Pierre Loti Hill where you can sip Turkish tea and take a selfie with the entire Historic Peninsula like a drop on the shot! The hill was named after the famous French novelist Pierre Loti, who loved the city and this sight in particular. So, make sure you get all the colors of the Golden Horn with all the historical wonders that you will see on the entire peninsula, as well as the Galata Tower on the other side!

Çamlıca Hill

Representing one of the highest views in the city, Çamlıca features two hills overlooking the Bosphorus and the Sea of ​​Marmara. There aren’t many pavilions and summer palaces to relax and enjoy eating as well as sipping Turkish tea before taking a perfect selfie from one of the highlights anywhere in the city. Now one of the largest mosques in Istanbul is built on this hill, which makes a particularly striking shot as the minarets rise above the city, perfect for you to display the final selfie.

Balat

Balat is famous for its colorful historic homes and unique cobbled streets. This is one of the most incredible residential areas ever, an area that could have been turned into a museum in any other city in the world. Climb to the top of any street from Balat’s maze, and take a selfie overlooking the colorful houses with the Golden Horn behind you for a gorgeous snapshot of Istanbul.

Emirgan Park

This beautiful gated park covers a massive 117 acres (470,000 square meters), with multiple ponds and 120 species of plants and animals that you won’t find in many other parks in the city. Each spring, the park is the center of the city’s Tulip Festival, with every color of tulips imaginable in beautiful decorative arrangements. Take a selfie from the top of the hill with the blue of the Bosphorus in the background and arrange a beautiful flower in the foreground!

Ortakoy

Ortakoy is one of the most beautiful areas anywhere along the Bosphorus, and the view of the bridge to the Asian side of the city is in the background with the Ortakoy Mosque, which is officially the Buyuk Mecidiye Cami, which is right in front of you with the views you will find anywhere in the city.

Büyük Valide Han

This is one of the most secretive selfies in town, but ultimately it just might be the best. Climb through this secret passage to the top of the Historic Peninsula and find yourself alone on the roof of the building with the entire city in front of you! Most tourists don’t know it so keep it a secret before you post the best selfie anyone in town has taken on Instagram and show the whole world!

Basilica Cistern

This stunning Byzantine edifice has hosted many films, including James Bond, due to the mystery and beauty of its caves. Take a shot with the perfect shaded lighting to show just how deep and deep the Istanbul crater you have explored!

The Grand Bazaar

Whether you take a shot of yourself in front of spices, ceramics, carpets, wedding dresses, or anything else under the sun, “The World’s Oldest Mall” is definitely a place for a selfie you won’t find anywhere else! Wander the maze of this giant bazaar until you find the perfect spot for you!

Virgo

You’ll have to take a boat ride to this one, but it’s totally worth it! Take the boat straight to the Maiden Tower, which is now a restaurant / café, and take a selfie right in the middle of the Bosphorus from one of the most famous historical sites!

Aya Sofia

Arguably the most famous building in the world, a shot from inside Haghia Sophia or outside puts you in the heart of Historic Istanbul, the UNESCO World Heritage Peninsula and in its 1500 year old masterpiece!

Istiklal Street

This street is the beating heart of the city, and whenever, wherever you take the shot you want to find it
