Istanbul practical travel guide

Istanbul spans Europe and Asia around the Bosphorus, combining Byzantine and Ottoman monuments with diverse neighborhoods, museums, markets and an extensive ferry network.

Top experiences

  • ✓Explore Sultanahmet, Hagia Sophia, Topkapı Palace and the Basilica Cistern.
  • ✓Visit the Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar and Süleymaniye area.
  • ✓Cross the Bosphorus by public ferry.
  • ✓Discover Beyoğlu, Balat, Kadıköy, Üsküdar and the Princes' Islands.

Best time to visit

April to June and September to November are comfortable. Summer is busy and humid; winter is quieter but wetter.
