We were glad we were able to see this since Istanbul has many old sites and relics, so it was great to incorporate a new building too. It was completed in 2011. Rode the elevator to the top floor for great views of the city (15 turkish lira). We also ate at the mall on the floor above the floor... More

An elegant skyscraper with a modern and chic shopping centre on ground level. However, the best part is the roof terrace! Amazing views of Levent, Maslak, Sisli all the way to the Bosphorus. More

The best part is the Sapphire Observation Deck on this mall at a height of around 250 mtrs, which gives a 360 degree of the city. The Mall itself has some of the best labels, brands and products on display. A must visit when in the city. More

We were so happy to have found this sight, the scenery is amazing! We went around 6pm and stayed for the sunset. The whole city is just gorgeous, and you can see for miles and miles, just about everything in Istanbul and around. After it was dark, we sat inside the cafe at the top, and had a cappuccino right...

Easy to access this building from the metro and then take the elevator up to the top floor. I like to take visitors first so they can see the whole amazing city of Istanbul and point out everywhere we are going to visit! Definitely worth the metro trek! More
