Movies filmed in Üsküdar, Istanbul, Turkey

Üsküdar is a sprawling residential area on Istanbul’s Asian side, where the ornate Beylerbeyi Palace sits in the shadow of the Bosphorus Bridge. The leafy Kuzguncuk neighborhood has a quiet, village feel, while the vaulted Mihrimah Sultan Cami mosque stands near the ferry wharves on the busy waterfront. Promenade cafes offer views of tiny Maiden’s Tower island and toward Sultanahmet across the water.
