Ladies and gentlemen, we're now approaching
another great symbol of Istanbul.
:00:31
One of the most famous places
of Turkey: the Bosphorus Bridge
:00:36
connecting Europe and Asia.
:00:38
In the last 2000 years, many nations
wanted to control this special place
:00:44
that was useful for transportation
between Europe and the Middle East.
:00:49
This bridge was opened in 1973,
and as you will be able to see
:00:54
it's always full of traffic.
If you look further down,
:00:58
you will be able to see
the Sultan Mohamed Bridge
:01:01
that was opened in 1988,
after the city expanded even more.

Please be careful when you leave the boat,
and take all your belongings with you.
