Üsküdar Coast
Mimar Sinan, 34672 Üsküdar/İstanbul, Türkiye
Üsküdar Coast is one of Istanbul’s most scenic waterfronts, offering panoramic views of the Bosphorus, the Maiden’s Tower, and the city’s European skyline. Historically, Üsküdar has been a key transportation hub, serving as the Asian gateway to the city for centuries. Lined with historic mosques, piers, and promenades, the coastline blends Ottoman heritage with modern urban life. Key landmarks include Mihrimah Sultan Mosque, Şemsi Pasha Mosque, and the famous ferry piers connecting Üsküdar to the European side. The coastline was once a major stop for pilgrims traveling to Mecca, as Üsküdar was the starting point of the Hajj route from Istanbul during the Ottoman era. Caravanserais and fountains built for these travelers still stand as reminders of this sacred journey. With its rich history, cultural sites, and stunning seaside setting, Üsküdar Coast remains a timeless symbol of Istanbul’s Asian side.
