When buying tickets (admission costs 6 euros), the cashier girl immediately warned that the fortress is at the station and you can only walk in the garden (Oct.2024)
In the garden, the plants have signs with descriptions in Turkish and English and there is a QR code leading to the Wikipedia page. For the first time I saw how pomegranate, laurel and walnut grow, it's interesting.
The upper platform offers a beautiful view of the Bosphorus. There are benches where you can sit down and watch the passing ships.
Next to the fortress you can walk along the embankment, there is a restaurant. There is a marina near the entrance, from there take the ferry to Uskudar.
There were few tourists. The walk turned out to be calm and relaxed. I liked.
If you are a fan of Turkish TV series, then you will love the cat dramas in the park inside the Rumeli fortress. The entrance fee is 260 lire. The fortress itself was under restoration, we only managed to get into the park, but it was interesting
Well, it looks good, everything is closed inside, restoration, it takes a long time to get there, and you can only sit in a tiny garden there, if you took a museum card, you have to go, if you go on purpose, it probably doesn't matter so much, on the way to the fortress, there is a gorgeous embankment overlooking the Bosphorus.
