The Bosphorus Bridge, also known as the 15 July Martyrs Bridge, is an iconic suspension bridge connecting the European and Asian sides of Istanbul, offering stunning panoramic views of the city and the Bosphorus Strait. While pedestrian access was previously allowed on special occasions, it is currently restricted, and crossing is primarily via vehicle or public transportation. Accessibility for individuals with mobility challenges may be limited on the surrounding areas and viewpoints. A visit is typically suitable for both solo travelers and guided tours, with guided tours offering deeper insights into the bridge's history and significance. The best time to visit is during the shoulder seasons (spring and autumn) for pleasant weather. Crossing the bridge via public transportation or taxi is relatively inexpensive, but the cost can vary. A typical visit duration is around 1-2 hours, depending on whether you're simply crossing the bridge or spending time at viewpoints.
