Plan your visit
Istanbul spans Europe and Asia around the Bosphorus, combining Byzantine and Ottoman monuments with diverse neighborhoods, museums, markets and an extensive ferry network.
April to June and September to November are comfortable. Summer is busy and humid; winter is quieter but wetter.
Metro, tram, Marmaray and ferries are usually more efficient than taxis. An Istanbulkart works across most public transport.
Travel conditions and opening arrangements can change. Check current information before your visit.
