I don't think I've seen a singular bridge be used to this much potential.
Not only does it connect the Faith side to the European side, there's a whole bunch of eateries on the underbelly and you'll also find people fishing during the day.

Nice pedestrian-friendly bridge between Galata and Cagaloglu. There are pedestrian walkways underneath on either side, to walk close to the water and away from traffic, although you have to climb up and down some steps to the roadway halfway across. At night, you have a great view of both sides of the city, including the lit up mosques. Only downside is the touristy restaurants trying to grab your attention on the walkways
Great views. See people fishing , great spot near the tram station as well. On a good weathered day, nice to walk across the bridge
Lovely to walk across this bridge and watch the fishermen - they fish for small sprat sized fish which they pull up normally at least 2 or 3 at a time. Under the bridge is a whole load of restaurants all with a great view over the water. There is a small part of the bridge where boats pass underneath and you can sit and watch them pass by while trying to avoid the fishermen’s lines!
Very nice bridge because of how cultural it is, when you walk especially in the afternoon you can see the fishermen listening to music and dancing while fishing, you can see the mosques, the Galata tower, the boats, the other bridges, really a very unique place to go for a walk, in the background there are many restaurants that are quite touristy and a bit annoying because they try to seduce you and are really insistent. I really recommend walking on top, but you must see it. Another very important point, be very careful if you decide to eat because they want to charge you more than what it really costs.
Nice views, you can see many people fishing, also the view from the bridge towards the Galata tower and on the other side the Sofia church, there are restaurants in the lower part of the bridge, the place is very colorful.
Interesting and easy to access local attraction. It has its own unique style as unlike most bridges, it has two levels and as you walk across the bridge you will see many fishermen catching fish right from the bridge. Great foe watching all the shops, boats and taxis operating in chaos at a close range and avoiding collisions by inches 👌
