Istanbul welcomes visitors all year round. However, if you want to make the most of your stay, choose to visit sometime in spring or early autumn, to avoid summer heat and winter chills. Plan your trip between May and June or September and October to enjoy the best weather! In May and September, for example, maximum temperatures are around 22-25°C (72-77°F), with minimums of 16-18°C (61-64°F). December and January are the coldest months, with temperatures ranging from 3-4°C (37-39°F) to 8-9°C (46-48°F).

Départ conseillé

No need to worry about where to begin! Our tours are designed as a loop, so you can jump in wherever you are. The navigation system and audio-guide will automatically adjust to your location. However, if you happen to be nearby, we do have a preferred starting point: in front of Hagia Sophia (Sultanahmet tram stop).

Parking à proximité

ISPARK Sultan Ahmet, Torun Sk. N°21 Don't look for parking meters, there aren't any! But that doesn't mean it's free! You'll see men in vests or city hall bibs; they're the parking officials and you pay directly to them. They'll also keep an eye on your car. If you've come by car, the best thing to do is leave it at the hotel and use public transport. The metro is clean, fast, efficient and easy to use. If you're moving around a lot during the day, take a 24h pass!"

À savoir

This tour takes you through the Grand Bazaar. Please note that the bazaar is open from 10am to 7pm every day, except Sundays and public holidays. Remember also that the Topkapi Palace is closed on Tuesdays and the Dolmabahçe Palace on Mondays. There are a few rules to follow when visiting a mosque. Admission is often free, but please note that the mosque closes for 90 minutes at each prayer time. You can easily tell when it's prayer time by the chanting of the muezzin at the top of the minaret. Upon entering the mosque, you'll be asked to take off your shoes. They'll provide plastic bags for you to store them in. Both men and women should have their shoulders and legs covered, and women must also cover their hair. Don't worry if you forgot a headscarf – they have some you can borrow at the entrance. So when in Istanbul, it's best for women to pack a scarf in their bag. You don't have to tie it up in any particular way or cover your face - as long as it covers your hair, you're fine.
