Çamlıca is situated on a high hill in Üsküdar, one of the districts on the Asian side of Istanbul. From Çamlıca Hill, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara. Residents of Istanbul often prefer Çamlıca to experience the view of the city, especially the pleasure of watching the sunset. There are picnic areas available here, and it is common to find families enjoying picnics on weekends. At Büyük Çamlıca Tepesi, the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Çamlıca Social Facilities provide services with its pavilions, fountains, tea gardens, historic monumental trees, restaurants, walking paths, colorful flowers, magnificent vegetation, and clean, friendly staff. Çamlıca Social Facility is one of the spots that attracts not only local residents of Istanbul but also a large number of visitors from abroad. Here, you can enjoy local dishes along with traditional Turkish pastry dishes accompanied by classical Turkish music, while sipping tea with a view of the Bosphorus, allowing yourself to be captivated by the beauty of Çamlıca. The breathtaking views of Istanbul and the Bosphorus will transport you back hundreds of years.
The air is very clean, and it is a peaceful and tranquil place. If you can find a corner for yourself, you can sip your tea while reading a book. You can see plenty of local and foreign tourists. The photo taken with that beautiful view in the background on the observation terrace is quite famous.
If you find the observation terrace empty, I recommend taking panoramic shots here. It is possible to capture both bridges in the same frame with a panoramic shot.
