A Bosphorus cruise offers a unique view of Istanbul from the sea — palaces, mosques, fortresses, and villas along the shores of the city's European and Asian sides. The passage between two continents is one of the most beautiful boat journeys in Europe. Particularly impressive at dusk.
Short cruises (~90 min) depart from Eminönü pier and cost around 10–15 EUR; full Bosphorus cruises (6 hours) cost around 25 EUR. The public ferry operated by Şehir Hatları is the cheapest option. Book online or purchase at the ticket office in the morning.
