Not for a fact that I walked with my all time favorite man on this bridge Nd not for the sake of all those yummy food spots around the corner but it s a great spot to visit and walk Nd enjoy.

The Galata Bridge has a great view of both European sides of the city . On the Sultanahmet side, get 6 Lira fresh fish sandwiches next to the water.

AFAR Media

While here, try the Balik Ekmek: chewy white bread , smeared with a quick mix of crunchy, chopped vegetables and a slice of salty, grilled fish , then served up with an Efes and an unbeatable view . Read more

Ally Park

Lovely place to take picture both side especially during sunset is just speechless. Try walk down the bridge full of cafes and you will get to the pic spot. Try both ways as it has diff view .

K Hameed

Famous Galatta Bridge . Citizens of Istanbul stand here & keep on fishing 24X7. If u are blessed with time join them 4 a round of fishing , and get the freshly caught fished BBQ in the restaurants down

To watch sunset try street food click funny selfies or fall in love at first sight. If you are visiting with your loved ones go for a romantic walk at less crowded hour. You ll find new intimacy; )

It is part of the history of Istanbul, bridging the Golden Horn basically. There are usually hundreds of people fishing rain or shine from dawn to dusk. Open to pedestrians, tram and cars

Yudum Macit Karakulakyan

Beautiful early in the morning, beautiful during sunsets & at nights! Better to have dinner at Karakoy in one of the terrace restaurants in order2c the best view !

Old, historic, scenic , cultural. Great place for people watching . There are fishbrestaurants under the bridge . Very authentic place to observe cultural habits.

The Galata Bridge linking the 2 European shores was given a facelift in 1992 after a fire destroyed the former structure .Every day a constant stream of people & motor verhicles crosses the Golden Horn

The Ritz-Carlton

Galata Bridge is Istanbul at its most evocative. Best time to come? Sunset , of course, when the red sky illuminates the hawkers, fishermen and cafés and fruity tobacco shisha starts to fill the air.

A must do- walk the bridge - cross the bosphorous and enjoy a beer and sardines on the lower walkway

Serious Eats: Head over to the Golden Horn by Galata Bridge , where you can order fish bread with pickled juice . It's just a fried mackerel sandwich served with a shot of brine to wash it down.

Joanne Warner

A fried fish sandwich sitting under the bridge is to die for. Great food, amazing views and the atmosphere is guaranteed to make you feel alive. Will definitely be returning.

Stop at Karakoy bus stop and walk the bridge towards Eminönü. And see the fishermen along the bridge and the Bosporus.

Catch a scenic view of the Bosphorus from a restaurant under the bridge . Great fish to be had!

Tatiana Romanova crosses the old Galata Bridge (having since been replaced due to fire damage) on her way to meet James Bond in From Russia with Love (1963).

The card game "bridge " got its name of the Köprü, it was the game that English soldiers used to play here while drinking raki and cay after another.

Bonítaxon

Place where hundreds of fishermen spend their time doing what they do - fishing . No rush. Good chit-chats w/ other, etc.

Raul Rene Lepșa

If you are in the area go down for a narghilea, turkish coffee and turkish tea at Haylaz Cafe - good prices and excelent service

Asya Feo

The best bridge in Istanbul where you can walk, take pictures, eat, look at fishermen , buy souvenirs - all at the same time.

Galata Bridge , Until the 19th century old Byzantine city of Constantinople was completely seperated from Galata and Pera by the Halic or Golden Horn

Kitsos Mitsos

Eat or drink at the cafes / restaurants that are located on both sides of the lower part of the bridge . Also watch people that are fishing day and night.

Praveen Paulsamy

Grab your camera and start posing. If you ever get tired of the view , try the fish restaurants under the bridge
