Üsküdar at a glance
Üsküdar is a long-established district on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus, known for its Ottoman mosques and waterfront views. The Mihrimah Sultan Mosque by the ferry square, the small Şemsi Paşa Mosque at the water's edge and the Maiden's Tower just offshore are among its landmarks. Çamlıca Hill offers a wide panorama over the city, while the wooden houses of Kuzguncuk and the Beylerbeyi Palace give the Bosphorus shoreline a character of its own.
As Üsküdar is on the same side as Sabiha Gökçen, no Bosphorus crossing is needed. In shoreline neighbourhoods such as Kuzguncuk and Beylerbeyi the roads can be narrow and partly one-way, so it helps to give the neighbourhood and street name in your booking rather than just Üsküdar. If your hotel entrance cannot be reached by car, your driver will stop at the closest accessible point.
