3 Hidden Viewpoints in Istanbul Waiting to be Discovered
1.Behind the Süleymaniye Mosque & Rooftop Cafes: A favorite for tourists wanting to escape the Sultanahmet crowds. Located right behind the mosque, these local rooftop cafes offer incredible views of the Golden Horn and the Bosphorus for less than 3 Euros. 2.Historic Hans and Courtyards (Eminönü/Tahtakale): Travelers who get lost in the labyrinth-like streets of centuries-old trading courts (like Büyük Valide Han) can watch local craftsmen work and find hidden upper floors with authentic, non-touristy views. 3.Üsküdar Waterfront (Şemsipaşa/Salacak): Easily accessible by ferry from the European side, this coastline offers the best angle to watch the sunset behind the Sultanahmet skyline and the Maiden's Tower while sitting like a local with a cup of tea.
