The Galata Bridge in Istanbul, Turkey, is an iconic structure that spans the Golden Horn, connecting the districts of Karaköy and Eminönü. Known for its historical significance and bustling activity, the bridge has been a vital link between the old city and modern Istanbul for centuries. The current iteration of the bridge, completed in 1994, features a lower level filled with restaurants and cafes, offering stunning views of the Bosphorus and the city skyline. The upper level accommodates vehicular traffic and pedestrians, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists.
