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.

It works until 17 o'clock. It's empty inside, there's nothing to see. It's just that if you're an impressionable person, you'll be fine there. Around, next to the top, there is something to come up with in your head. Some kind of story, and since all the fortresses are in Istanbul. It's the same everywhere. We drove to the ITU University station, went through the bazaar, bought oranges and tangerines. We went down to the entrance to the fortress, watched, enjoyed and ate. I'm an impressionable aunt, and my daughter is a realist... well, she's so-so.

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

The Rumeli Hisarı fortress, with the construction of which the fall of Constantinople began in 1452, is certainly interesting as a historical monument. But as a tourist destination, it's nothing ... By paying 130 rubles you will get the opportunity to look at the towers and walls of the fortress, which are visible from a different angle absolutely for free. And there's really nothing else to see in the fortress. Except for the protracted restoration and the long-rusted elements of the scaffolding...

In my opinion, the place is overrated, the view from the fortress is beautiful, but you can't go anywhere inside, you can't even climb the wall, just walk around the perimeter for 15 minutes and take a picture of the Bosphorus, high)
I do not advise in general, it is better to go to the golden gate, it is fashionable to enter the fortress there and walk around the territory and climb the gate itself, from where you can see everything at all)

It is currently undergoing restoration. It will most likely end in 2025. But the place is very beautiful, it offers a magnificent view of the Bosphorus. For lovers of such antiquity, a wonderful object. There is a mosque, a small amphitheater. If I manage to get in after the restoration, I will be happy to walk along the walls of the fortress.

The fortress is under restoration! There is no point in going! It is a beautiful object, but now there is only access to the inner garden for 250 rubles per person. When asked how long it will last, the answer is that at least a year for sure))

They really wanted to get inside , but the fortress was closed for restoration. We admired her when we sailed past on the ferries . I think after the restoration they will raise the entrance price as in other objects

The exposition is meager and uninteresting. You can only move around the courtyard. The walls and towers are being repaired, the passage is closed. It is troublesome and long to get there.
On trips to Turkey, we visited various fortresses, which did not disappoint.

As of October 2024, repairs are underway. The entrance is 6 euros, for this money you will just go inside the fortress, but you will not be able to climb any wall or any tower. I am very sorry for the time and money spent on the road.

An old building, now under reconstruction. But there is a place to walk.
There are beautiful views of the Bosphorus.
There are a lot of seals walking around. You can take food with you to feed them.
There is a restroom.
We went through the door from the strait side

A very beautiful fortress on the very shore of the Bosphorus, from which a magnificent view of it opens. But at the moment, there is no point in stopping at the reconstruction and going ashore.

Since this fortress played a crucial role in the conquest of Constantinople, the place is a must-visit. At the moment, many walls and towers are under reconstruction. But inside there are beautiful photo points, a view of the bridge over the Bosphorus, an amphitheater.

It is currently being restored by IMM, it will be nice to visit when it is finished, it is located in one of the most beautiful spots overlooking the strait. The beach is perfect for walking and enjoying the strait.

It's an interesting place, but it's currently under restoration.
The museum is closed, you can't walk along the walls, the towers are being repaired, concerts are not being held. You can climb the path to the upper towers and admire the beautiful views of the Bosphorus and Istanbul.

It's a beautiful place. You can get there by metro or ferry. Included in the museum pass. The entrance is from the side of a long and beautiful embankment. Inside the fortress, you can walk around the courtyard, climb a couple of hills and look at the strait from them. The entrances to the walls and towers are closed (due to restoration).

Bogaz Kezen is "The One who cut the Straits", or "The Slit Throat", although in history she became known as the "European Castle", Rumelikhisar.
I really liked the really beautiful view of the Bosphorus.
They did not get into the towers, because they are under restoration, but even without them, walking along the paths, reaching the doors of the towers and the walls of the fortress, they were impressed by the scale.

This great creation is permanent. But on our arrival, she was under reconstruction, so they could not estimate 100%. I advise you to check the relevance of working hours before visiting.

6 euros for a walk in the garden. The fortress is closed, everything is closed, you can't go anywhere, all the towers are under reconstruction. Absolutely no useful waste of time on the way here and money. It's not worth it.

Cool views, especially closer to the towers! Unfortunately, it is partially under reconstruction, and in general it is impossible to climb anywhere (officially), but if you try, you may get lucky and there will be a tunnel somewhere else (as I understand, it depends on the time of work and where they are performed).
Taking into account the views (which can not be reached in the peroid of reconstruction) - I recommend, if you just officially go into the garden inside, then it probably isn't worth the money for a full ticket

We visited the fortress on April 13, 2022, it is open to the public. There are forests around, and inside there is also something under reconstruction, but the entrance and the territory inside are accessible to tourists. The place itself is amazing, one of the most beautiful in Istanbul.

The Rumelikhisar fortress still captures the spirit with its scale. Construction began in 1452 on the orders of Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror, who later conquered Constantinople. It is impossible to believe, but this huge structure was built in 4 months! The purpose of the construction is to block Constantinople's access to the Black Sea coast, thus preparing it for an assault.
Rumeli Hisary was built on the site of the Foneus fortress, which was built during the Byzantine Empire and destroyed before the arrival of the Ottomans. Sultan Mehmet Fatih personally named each tower in honor of his outstanding subjects and assistants.

The fortress is currently under restoration, so only the courtyard is open and there is not much to see there. Tickets, as elsewhere, are not cheap. Therefore, it is not worth paying attention to yet.

It took a very long time to get there, as I lived in the Fatih area. And it turned out that the fortress was under restoration. Very sorry. But I really liked the area, the stunning view of the bridge and the beautiful embankment.

February 2022 - the fortress is closed for restoration, there is no information about it anywhere (((The fortress itself, even from the outside, is impressive and the journey from the old town by ferry was also not in vain))) but if you knew in advance that it was closed, you could catch the ferry back at 13.50, because the next one was at 16.15...

The fortress is certainly impressive in size, especially if you know that it was built in 4 months. But! They won't let you anywhere inside. All towers are closed, entry to the wall is prohibited. You can just walk along the paths, among waist-high grass and a few pretty plants.
I do not recommend visiting.

It's an amazing place. Ancient walls, flowering trees, wind and breathtaking views of the Bosphorus and Sultan Mehmed Fatih Bridge. Some of the steps are quite dangerous. Don't forget to bring a bottle of water in the summer. We spent several hours here, climbing another wall, admiring the surroundings and going down. A friend with whom I traveled said, sitting at another conquered height: "I think this is the most beautiful place in Istanbul." And I'm ready to agree with her. We were there in August 2014, the ticket cost about 10-15 lira, I don't remember exactly. But I would definitely like to visit here again.
