About this spot
The Galata Bridge is a historic and iconic bridge that spans the Golden Horn in Istanbul, Turkey, connecting the districts of Karaköy and Eminönü. First built in the 19th century, the bridge has since undergone several reconstructions, with the current version being a double-decked structure completed in 1994. The bridge is not only a vital transportation link, but also a lively social hub, as its lower deck is home to numerous restaurants, cafés, and shops. Known for its stunning views of the Bosphorus and the city's skyline, the Galata Bridge has become a symbol of Istanbul's rich cultural heritage and a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.
