Üsküdar and the Maiden’s Tower View: Direct Shuttle Transfer from the Airport
Üsküdar is one of Istanbul’s most iconic districts, where history meets emotion. Facing the Maiden’s Tower on the Asian shore, it offers one of the city’s most unforgettable panoramas. This guide helps you plan the best visiting times, walking routes, and your seamless transfer with Shuttle Port Turkey.
Morning Calm: A Peaceful Start
Between 07:00–09:00 a.m., Üsküdar is serene. The water is calm, and the morning light gently touches the tower. Salacak Shore provides the best photography angle, with the Bosphorus and European side clearly visible.
Midday: Walking Through History
After a coffee, follow the route Üsküdar Square → Mihrimah Sultan Mosque → Salacak Coast. In about 25 minutes, you’ll walk through both Ottoman heritage and seaside tranquility. For a short local break, explore the Üsküdar Fish Market.
