The current bridge, the fifth one built in this location, dates back to the early 20th century. It features a lower deck for vehicle traffic and an upper pedestrian deck lined with small shops, street food vendors, and traditional fishermen casting their lines into the waters below. Crossing the Galata Bridge is a quintessential Istanbul experience, offering sweeping views of the city's historic skyline.
