Sherry CameraMay 8, 2015Not 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.
AFAR MediaOctober 8, 2014While 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

Noah WeissOctober 2, 2014The 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.

Ally ParkMay 29, 2022Lovely 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 HameedMarch 9, 2014Famous 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
Aylin AlpustunSeptember 24, 2019It 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
- Sherry CameraMay 12, 2015To 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; )
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!

The Ritz-CarltonAugust 16, 2012Galata 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.

Rachel KingMay 15, 2014Serious 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.
