Most Bosporus cruises pass under the Bosphorus Bridge, a stunning suspension bridge that connects Europe and Asia. The bridge is particularly beautiful at night when it is illuminated with colorful lights. It was opened in 1973 and is a symbol of Istanbul's modernity. However, in 2016, it gained a new name, the 15 July Martyrs Bridge, in honor of those who lost their lives during the failed coup attempt. A must-see attraction when visiting Istanbul.
