Chad_O Posted October 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Does anyone know if there is an elevator/lift to reach the restaurants that line the lower level of the bridge? A member of our group is eager to go but has mobility issues. Thanks for any insights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John Bull Posted October 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) At both ends of the bridge on the downstream side the lower level is accessed by about 15 steps or a ramp. Which to take will depend whether the bigger problem is distance or steps. The central part of the bridge has no lower level, because it's for boats going under the bridge. There are steps between road & lower level at the outer end of both lower-level sections, but I don't know if there are elevators. The eastern (Cruise berths) end https://goo.gl/maps/s4bZBRr9XsT9y5ps5 (You can see the wheelchair sign on the right) The western (Eminonu / Sultanahmet) end https://goo.gl/maps/nWJHzreWdNgPosDx8 (swing the camera top the right to see the ramp) The outer end of the lower level (eastern side) https://goo.gl/maps/mwmGu7VHtaRmKwB59 JB 🙂 Edited October 21, 2022 by John Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWantToLiveOverTheSea Posted October 27, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Eminonu is a great place for photography - so much going on. And walking over the bridge is fun. Take some pictures of the city from the bridge, or with the city and bridge. Or eat at one of the fish boats at Eminonu. Or take a ferry from there to Asia - so much to do and see. Buy an Istanbulkart or buy several tram tickets at a time so you don't have to wait in lines. Unless you're an anti-masker, take a mask for the trams and bridge - both can be very crowded.
