Istanbul, Galata Tower

Visits to Galata Tower in Istanbul increase after its reopening

The number of visits to the historic Galata Tower in Istanbul, icon of tourism and symbol of the city, have skyrocketed since its reopening last week after 3 months of restoration, despite the fact that it only admits 50% of its capacity due to the coronavirus pandemic. Completely renovated inside and converted into a museum, the tower offers a review of the history of Istanbul as well as magnificent views of the city.
