Bosphorus Bridge (Bogazici Koprusu)

The Bosphorus Bridge, or Bogazici Koprusu, spans the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul, connecting Europe and Asia. Opened in 1973, this 5,118-foot (1,560-meter) suspension bridge was once the fourth-longest of its kind globally. While it no longer holds that rank, its presence remains a striking feature of the city’s skyline. Visitors can drive or walk across the bridge, taking in the expansive views of the bustling waterway below and the historic cityscape on both sides.
