- BARRYBEWestville, South Africa2,663 contributionsDuring our stay in Istanbul, we crossed this magnificent bridge several times, which provides outstanding views. In addition, we took a boat trip down the Bosphorus ocean, where we saw many outstanding buildings. A trip to Istanbul would be not complete by spending time on the Bosporus.Written July 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David SMiddlesbrough, UK2,400 contributionsA pleasant 10 minute walk from the quite remarkable cruise terminal, the iconic Galata Bridge spans the Golden Horn, connecting Istanbul's two European sides. On the top level, a stream of traffic such as cars, buses, trucks, and trams constantly pass over. Down below, on a second level, there's rows of restaurants and bars.
Tip, there's lots of public WCs in Istanbul but all of them require payment to enter, so remember to have some small denomination Turkish Lira with you or you'll be over charged in Sterling or Euros.Written June 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Carol A SMarietta, GA4,147 contributionsThere are two Golden Horn Bridges in Istanbul. This entry seems to be describing the Golden Horn Metro Bridge, connecting the Beyoğlu and Fatih districts on the European side of Istanbul, located between the Galata Bridge and Atatürk Bridge. This is a cable-stayed bridge, strung from two 65 m towers in a harp design. The Haliç station of the M2 metro line is in the middle of the bridge (!), sheltering passengers with a canopy. The station and the pedestrian walkways offer superb views over the Golden Horn, ship docks, Suleymaniye mosque and other sights of Eminonu and Karakoy. I walked the bridge, about 1 km from shore to shore, watching the changing views, harbor traffic, sea birds, people and bicyclists. The second Golden Horn Bridge (also called Halic Koprusu) is about 3km to the north, connecting the neighborhoods of Ayvansaray in the southwest and Halıcıoğlu in the northwest. This bridge carries the O-1 motorway, also known as the Istanbul Inner Beltway. It is a flat bridge, generally with large numbers of cars and no pedestrian walkways. Both bridges are open 24/7 with no entry fee.Written August 20, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dilay oIstanbul, Türkiye81 contributions5 km long tunnel is providing a safe, comfortable and fast journey between Asian and European parts of Istanbul. It takes only 5 minutes to change continents.
It is the best alternative if you want to avoid the traffic jam in Istanbul.Written November 9, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You can get some great photos from here but a major tip is to go up from the pedestrian walkway to the little bridge for crossing over the platforms which gets you great views of either side of the bridge for wonderful photos of both sides of the city and the sea itself.Written January 10, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
