Address

Spans the Golden Horn between Karaköy and Eminönü

Rods line the railings along the whole span, with the T1 tram rattling past. Underneath, a row of fish restaurants and cafés. Süleymaniye and Yeni Mosque sit on one side and Galata Tower on the other, so the bridge fills with photographers near sunset. No ticket, you just walk across. The lower-deck restaurants have a reputation for touting and padded bills, so read the menu prices first.
