Lively, golden, unmistakably Istanbul on the water.

Galata Bridge (Eminönü)

Where the Golden Horn meets the Bosphorus, Galata Bridge's lower deck — lined with fish restaurants and framed by its distinctive iron archways — opens onto postcard views of the Galata Tower skyline on one side and the domes of Süleymaniye Mosque on the other. Few spots pack more of Istanbul into a single frame.
