Wooden Bridge

Wooden Bridge, located in Beşiktaş, Turkey is an important symbol for locals and a great attraction for tourists. Though it is actually a small bridge made of wood, it offers amazing views of the sea and the Golden Horn. The bridge is part of Kadirga harbor and is located near Galata Bridge. It has been around since the 17th century, and though it has seen better days – it leaks during heavy rains - the bridge serves as an iconic spot for the local people and promenaders. The wooden bridge is most iconic at night, when it is lit up and reflecting in the waters below. From here, one can also enjoy the views of the Istanbul skyline. A visit to this bridge is a must for anyone looking to experience the Turkish culture and history.
