For all fortress lovers.
A great place with a rich history. You can climb the Golden Gate, which offers a beautiful view of the city and the Marmara Sea with ships going into the horizon.
In general, this is the category of attractions that, although not popular (too far from Sultanahmet, although there is a tram that can be reached in 25 minutes. And if you decide to walk from Sultanahmet to the fortress 1-1.5 hours on foot, you can also see the "non-parade" Istanbul)., but it is actively being restored and has good information support. In this regard, it was very reminiscent of our Izborsk in the Pskov region.
The price is more than affordable - 250 liras for 1 adult on 03.09.24.
Tourists 1.5 people.
I definitely recommend you to visit.
We visited this castle museum in early April 2024.
I really liked it! The entrance is only 100 liras, while in addition to the castle itself, you can also go upstairs and admire the beautiful panorama of Istanbul.
There are still few tourists. The castle is under reconstruction, I think over time it will be "promoted" and there will be noticeably more tourists.
Another plus is the relative proximity to the center. From Yenikapi and back we walked 4 km along a beautiful and deserted promenade.
But you can also get there by train.
🌄🏺 Let's go to ancient times with Oleg the Prophetic!
In 907, Oleg went on a campaign to Constantinople, the heart of the Byzantine Empire. It was not just a military campaign, but a symbol of the strength and unity of the Eastern Slavs! 💪💖
Like a real commander, he gathered his loyal troops and headed for the majestic walls of the city on ships. According to legend, thanks to cunning and luck, he was able to negotiate with the Byzantine rulers and ensure peaceful trade relations! ⚔️🕊️
This campaign became a significant stage in history, and also proved that even the strongest enemies can be turned down by cunning and wisdom.
The ticket price is 250 liras
(It's cheap in Istanbul today!)
The castle is being reconstructed
But you can walk through the territory, climb the wall, enter the towers
Great view!!!
The castle is beautiful, despite the construction site
It is optimal to get from Sirenji station to Yedikulu by the Marmaray train and look at the remains of the fortress wall along the sea and then go to the castle
There are cafes and shops near the castle with prices lower than Sultanahmet (grill House at 44 Imam Hussein Street)
As they say, the very fortress with the very golden gate, to which the Prophetic Oleg nailed his shield. Admission for tourists is 100 liras per person. They are given a brochure with a map and the history of the fortress in English and Turkish. Not for idle wandering, but for history lovers. There is a very colorful area around with narrow streets and small houses.
Yes, under reconstruction. The entrance has already been made for 200 liras. But there are practically no people, the view from the tower is super, and in general it is a very cool historical building
Yedikule Castle is an interesting museum where you can learn the history of Istanbul. The fortress was built by the Ottomans in 1458, and once housed a prison. We visited the museum, examined the torture chambers and saw the remains of decorations on the gates. There are thick walls inside, and the atmosphere of the fortress is felt. I recommend it for history lovers.
We were in September 2023. The price is 100 liras. 4 towers are open to the public. Round Turkish towers are empty inside. Square Byzantine tower at the Golden Gate in the inside with filling. Wooden decks and ladders. Ascent to the decks is prohibited. But there are no guards. We got up.
The ascent to the walls is closed for security reasons. High and there is no railing. The ascent to the Golden Gate Towers is open. Inside the Byzantine tower there is a stone staircase. There are two guardhouses along the way.
A historical place . It looks great. First this wall fell , and after it the Byzantine Empire

The cost for tourists is 250 liras (approximately 750 rubles at the exchange rate on July 23, 2024). But not the most expensive of entertainment. Restoration work is underway. From the interesting: you can go upstairs and look towards the sea, and that's probably it... I won't go there a second time and I don't advise you. It is better to go to the sea to swim
While the walls and towers themselves are under reconstruction, but various events are organized inside, for example, outdoor film screenings, and there are very beautiful art objects near the entrance.
Прекрасное место! Хорошо, что попали в период реконструкции, мало людей, тихо, спокойно. Вход 100 лир, дают интересный буклет на входе. На территории туалет, кафе. Действует 1 подъем на стену, можно посетить 2 башни. Очень красивое, историческое место. Для любителей замков, крепостей, древней истории.
Была здесь, когда на территории ещё шла реставрация (март 2023). За вход заплатила 100 лир. Можно было зайти в несколько башен и подняться на одну из них, вид потрясающий! А сам подъем ещё более интересный: крутые ступеньки, маленькие окошки, узкие проходы и небольшие комнатки. Мне искренне было интересно ходить даже по одной башне. Главный плюс — вообще нет туристов. Спокойно ходишь, смотришь, делаешь фото. Главное место здесь "золотые ворота", бывший главный въезд в крепость. Я люблю развалины, поэтому мне было очень интересно бродить и все разглядывать, но ничего изысканного вы тут, конечно, не найдёте.
Объект на реконструкции, но внутрь пускают. Билет 100 лир с человека, museum pass не действует. На территории работает туалет, кафе не работает. Доступен вход в 2 башни и подьем на стену. Со стены отличный вид на Босфор и на город
Часть крепости на реконструкции.
Можно подняться наверх, виды красивые. Есть возможность зайти внутрь некоторых башен.
Красиво, интересно. Все очень ухожено. Вход 100 ТЛ с человека. Для людей хоть немного интересующихся историей это вау.

The Golden Gate of Constantinople, plus a great view from the gate tower of the entire old city. I highly recommend it.
Были в апреле 2023, понравилось. Идёт реставрация, можно подняться на центральные башни, на стены проход был закрыт. Жаль что с наружи за рвом какие то огороды и хибары. Вокруг обойти не удалось, чуть собака не загрызла.
Погружение в средневековье. Коты укажут дорогу и покажут все значимые места крепости. Вход платный, выдаётся карта. На территории есть маленькая кофейня.

The main gate of Constantinople is deserted, there are no tourists. From the metro min 7-10 on foot. Very beautiful views. There is a passage inside in one of the towers.
26.02.2022. Золотые ворота снаружи не осмотреть, доступ закрыт кладбищем. Чтобы войти на территорию с меня попросили 100 лир. В данный момент идёт реконструкция, можно только подняться к одной из башен, но за эти деньги лучше посетить Галатскую башню. Вид с Галатской башни супер, впечатления колоссальные , а с Золотых Ворот Замка смотреть не на что. Советую не терять время и деньги и ехать на Галатку.
Крепость все ещё закрыта на реконструирую. Добраться до неё можно от Султанахмета на метро ветка Маркарай от станции Сиркеджи до Казлычешме, проезд стоит 7,5 лир
