Galata Tower: from Karaköy uphill to the skyline
Walk to Galata Tower from the water, or meet uphill and spend more time around its lanes and squares.
Start at the right end of the hill
The walk up from Karaköy is short on the map and steep underfoot. If someone has luggage, a pushchair or just wants to take it easy, meet near the upper Tünel area and walk towards the tower from there. Keep a separate point for the group to regroup.
Make a little room for the streets
Check current museum access if you want to go up. Walking around the base and the surrounding lanes is a small outing in its own right. Leave room for a break and make your next stop optional rather than rushing the whole group through.
