 Galata great view BUT made me woozy, leave the baby at home Oct 17, 2009
The Galata Tower was a good one to visit. It has a wonderful view of the old part of town. However, I had my six month old baby strapped to me, and the view area at the top of the tower is very narrow, crowded, and not the "safest". By safest I mean the rails didn't go up very high and I was having to sqeeze by people constantly. It was about 10 bucks to get in, but It made me to nervous and woozy so I didn't enjoy the view.

For most of the day, the rain was light (but nons…Galata Tower, but didn't want to pay the 10 Lira fee to go up to the top.
