The Galata Bridge, spanning the Bosphorus, is the only thing that makes it interesting for walking, after all, we do not often walk on bridges in warm countries, although of course it also serves purely utilitarian purposes, namely connects the shores of the rather large city of Istanbul, between the districts of which the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara stretch, rather a part the sea, but nevertheless...You can look at the pleasure boats with tourists passing under it and ferries with local residents and tourists crossing. On the lower tier of the bridge there are restaurants and cafes, quite decent, where you can try fish dishes. On the upper tier, it is quite possible to walk, go to the Galata Tower and look at the local fishermen, of whom there are many located on the bridge. I think the bridge is worth visiting by tourists, especially in the heat, it is quite pleasant to walk there, the breeze from the sea is pleasantly refreshing.

The same bridge that flashes in almost all Turkish TV series))) If you are in Istanbul, be sure to visit this bridge, and it is better to take a tour of the Bosphorus)) there are large excursion ferries for large groups, there are also small yachts)) It's very beautiful to look at everything from the water)) you can even see dolphins.. a separate aesthetic is the houses along the water))

It is a very beautiful place, however, as is the whole of Istanbul. You can walk at any time of the day, there are always a lot of people, fishermen and shoe cleaners))). There are cool cafes under the bridge overlooking the Bosphorus
