Sapphire Observation Deck, in short
An indoor observation deck on the 55th floor of Istanbul Sapphire, one of the tallest buildings in Europe at 260 metres. The viewing level sits at 236 metres.
What it costs
Walk-up entry is u20ac17. Included on the pass, and it pairs with the 4D SkyRide on the floor below.
Getting there
At Levent on the European side. Take the M2 metro to 4. Levent or Levent.
How long to allow
Forty-five minutes, or an hour with the SkyRide.
How it compares
This is the business-district view rather than the historic one u2014 towers, the Bosphorus in the distance, and the scale of the modern city. Galata Tower is the one for the old skyline; this is the one for understanding how large Istanbul actually is. There is a restaurant a floor above the deck.
