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.

Rumeli Fortress is a historical landmark and museum located on the shores of the Bosphorus in Istanbul. It was built in 1452 by Sultan Mohammed Fatih and served to control the passage of ships through the strait. Inside the fortress there are three main towers, a reservoir and a mosque. Now the fortress is open to the public as a museum where you can learn about its history and the rich history of Istanbul.

A very beautiful place, I recommend you to visit. Now (August 2024) a lot of things are closed for restoration for two years, but there is still somewhere to walk and what to see. Gorgeous views, not crowded, close to the ferry station
