Galata Tower
This tower was built in the 14th century by the Genoese and has been an important part of Istanbul's skyline ever since.
Sanatkarlar Park
This park, right on the edge of Beyoğlu as the hill slopes down towards the Bosphorus, presents some of the most open views of the entire Bosphorus.
Maiden's Tower
You have to take a boat out to the Maiden's Tower and see as the sun sets right over the historic peninsula.
Büyük Çamlıca Hill
Çamlıca represents one of the highest views in the city, and features two hills overlooking the Bosphorus and the Marmara Sea.
There are many pavilions and summer palaces to relax on and sip a Turkish tea before you take the perfect shot of the sunset from one of the most prominent places anywhere in the city.
Pierre Loti
The hill was named for the well-known French novelist Pierre Loti, who loved Istanbul and this view in particular.
You can watch all the colors the Golden Horn turns into as the sun sets behind it, along with all the historic wonders you'll see over the entire Peninsula, as well as the Galata Tower on the other side.
Büyük Valide Han
Climb up through this secret passageway right up to the top of the Historic Peninsula and find yourself all alone on a rooftop with the whole city before you.
Otağtepe Park
It is one of the lesser known parks on the Asian side of the city and as a result you've got the opportunity to get the best sunset shot that nobody else even knows about.
