Salacak waterfront in Üsküdar: walk with a view across the strait
Walk from the ferry landing and market toward Salacak, treating the shore as both a viewpoint and a lived-in public space.
Start near Üsküdar's ferry landing and follow the waterfront toward Salacak. İstanbul'u Seyret, an Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality project, describes Salacak as an old Üsküdar settlement with views of the Historic Peninsula skyline and Maiden's Tower. Go Türkiye also highlights the Bosphorus promenade, views toward the opposite shore around sunset, and the fish market beside the pier.
Avoid promising a specific sunset time or view: seasons and weather affect what you see. When sitting by the water, leave the passage clear and make room for residents using the shore in their daily routines. If you are continuing to another district, check the operator's timetable for that day. Üsküdar is the starting point of the M5 line in Metro İstanbul's current line listing. You can keep the walk simple by planning your return around the same pier area.
