The iconic double-deck drawbridge spanning the Golden Horn, linking historic Eminönü with Karaköy. Day and night, the upper deck is lined with dozens of local anglers casting fishing lines into the currents, while the lower level houses a bustling promenade of waterfront seafood taverns and tea cafes. It commands classic postcard vistas of passing Bosphorus ferries, the Süleymaniye Mosque, and Galata Tower.
