They were not inside, as the fortress was undergoing restoration. It's impressive from the outside. Beautiful views from the waterfront.

It's beautiful, but access to the walls is now closed, reconstruction is underway, only the courtyard is open, I recommend thinking thoroughly before coming here

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.

We got there when there was a restoration- the price tag was not lowered - 4k per person, no types 🤷🏼♀️

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

A very picturesque fortress. Beautiful views of the Bosphorus. An interesting structure from the point of view of fortification art. It is a pity that many crossings are closed, obviously for the safety of tourists. From Sultanahmet to the terminal by tram t1, then by bus 22

This bastion is absolutely necessary to visit, because it has played a decisive role in history, thanks to its strategic location. Ottoman Turkey, having erected in 1452 in just 4 months a powerful fortress on the foundation of the ruins of the pre-Constantinople building, did not miss military assistance to Byzantine Constantinople and thereby established its power. From this moment, the capture of Byzantium and the establishment of Ottoman Turkey are counted down.
