 Secret Rooftop in Istanbul

Right before sunset, climb up the rooftop of Kubbe Istanbul. Harun, a friendly and welcoming man, is the owner of the well-decorated rooftop. 

Formally Kubbe was a top thing to do in Istanbul to watch the sunset from but it recently changed into a photography location with an entrance fee of 100 TL. (~ 18 USD) You can also enjoy a great free view from the rooftop next to the location. 

Important note: Kubbe Istanbul is premaritally closed. Check out Nova Şantiye Cafe instead!

Turkish Rugs are overflowing with silk pillows as fluffy stray cats nap on these sumptuous heaps of softness. Initially, this rooftop appears a bit like a scene out of Cappadocia. But, look a little closer and you will instantly notice key differences. At the Kubbe, seagulls take the place of hot air balloons. And, you will catch views of Istanbul’s sophisticated landscape instead of dreamlike fairy chimneys.

For me, the Kubbe Istanbul remains one of those quintessential wanderlust surprises that travelers dream about. It’s the kind of experience you see splashed across magazines, but you just know that you will never stumble into anything quite like this spellbinding utopia, no matter how hard you look for it. It was genuinely a shock, because I had no idea this place existed when I was planning out my day.

Why seagulls?

An older man walks around throwing raw chicken in the air, and that’s why seagulls materialize out of nowhere. And when I say seagulls, you can’t imagine how many descend on you. It is magical. Don’t worry, he’s careful not to get any on you. But, even if he does, my prediction is that you will be so consumed with the birds that you won’t notice.
