点评:It was a 30 minutes walk from Taksim Square (where we were staying), but the walk itself was an attraction by itself !
We had to walk the full length of Istiklal Cadessi, which is a wide avenue bustling with activities. When we reached the Galata area, the scene suddenly changed with quaint shops along narrow busy streets sloping downwards.
We liked the Galata Tower so much that we went there twice - once in the daytime and once in the evening. It seemed more enchanting in the evening, because there was a light show on the facade of the tower. We didn’t expect it, and were just taking some photos of the night scene, when the tower suddenly lighted up in an “explosion” of colors.
What really made our visits to the Galata Tower special was that we made our way to the nearby Galata Bridge each time. Again, it was a different experience walking along the Galata Bridge in the daytime vs in the evening. So vibrant and full of life !
Together, I must say that Galata Tower and Galata Bridge capture much of the essence of Istanbul - its rich history, its beautiful scenery and its colorful vibrancy.
We were intrigued …..

我们必须沿着 Istiklal Cadessi 步行全程,这是一条熙熙攘攘的宽阔大道。当我们到达加拉塔区时,景色突然变了,沿着向下倾斜的狭窄繁忙街道开设了古色古香的商店。
我们非常喜欢加拉塔塔,所以我们去了两次 - 一次是在白天,一次是在晚上。晚上看起来更迷人,因为塔的正面有灯光秀。我们没有想到,只是拍了一些夜景照片,塔突然亮了起来,五彩缤纷。
真正让我们参观加拉塔塔的特别之处在于,我们每次都会前往附近的加拉塔大桥。同样,白天和晚上沿着加拉塔大桥行走的体验是不同的。如此充满活力和生机!
总之,我必须说,加拉塔塔和加拉塔桥体现了伊斯坦布尔的精髓——悠久的历史、美丽的风景和丰富多彩的活力。
我们很感兴趣……
