John Freely, noted Istanbul authority, referred to Galata Bridge as the true heart of the city. It makes a certain sense. As you look out on the Golden Horn passing beneath your feet, the intersection of the great estuary with the Bosphorus Strait and the Asian shore beyond, it becomes clear that Istanbul's greatness lies in its role as a confluence of land and water.The Galata Bridge connects Eminonu with the port of Karakoy and the Beyoglu district. It's most famous for the hundreds of fishermen who daily line the span, casting lines and hoping to bring up mackeral or sardines. The lower level is something of a floating shopping mall with fish restaurants and nargiles everywhere. The touts can be a little aggressive but that's part of the city too. The south end of the bridge faces the New Mosque and Egyptian Bazaar while the mosque of Sulyman the Magnificent and Beyazit tower loom in the distance.

    Wonderful place for walking! Next to the bridge you can find a famous authentic fish market with a lot of fresh fish.

    The Galata Bridge, known as the representative building in Turkey, is also a bridge that once connected the heart of the two cities. The history of the bridge is also very interesting, originally made of wood, recently converted into concrete

    伊斯坦布尔的加拉塔大桥附近是钓鱼的热点,钓鱼是土耳其及其沿海地区非常受欢迎的活动。9 月至 12 月是主要的捕鱼季节,平时桥上总是可以看到很人在钓鱼。

    We took the tram to the Galata Bridge before the car was very crowded. After getting off the bus, we walked across the bridge. There are shops under the bridge and there are many fishing on the bridge. It is said that the Galata Bridge is the only bridge that can walk across the Channel or Golden Horn Bay.

    Galata Bridge is a famous bridge connecting old and new districts on Jinjiao Bay. On and near the bridge, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Golden Cape Bay. There are many seagulls in the bay. They are very beautiful. The two sides of the bridge are different styles of architecture, as if through time and space, people are intoxicated. On the side of the bridge, you can take a cruise ship and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole Golden Cape Bay on board. Galata Bridge is absolutely the place you have to visit in Istanbul. All 5 stars recommended!
