Travel to Istanbul

Landing in Istanbul soon? Here's what to know before you go.

From currency and getting around to iconic Byzantine domes, bustling spice bazaars, and scenic ferry rides bridging Europe and Asia, we've got the essentials covered for your trip to the City of the World's Desire.

Language & Currency

Official language Turkish Turkish is official. English is spoken widely in tourist hotspots like Sultanahmet, Beyoğlu, and major markets, though carrying an offline translator is helpful for local neighborhoods

Payments Turkish Lira (TRY) Credit and debit cards are standard in restaurants and shops. Keep physical cash on hand for street food vendors, local taxis, tip jars, and recharging public transport cards

Getting Around

Fastest Metro, Trams & Ferries Avoid heavy road traffic! Get an Istanbulkart to easily board highly efficient metros, the T1 tram running through historic sites, and public ferries linking continents

Also popular Yellow Taxis & Marmaray Yellow street cabs are common—use official apps (such as BiTaksi) to help avoid overcharging. The Marmaray rail tunnel runs beneath the seabed, connecting Europe and Asia in just minutes.

Top Attractions

Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya) A 6th-century architectural marvel. Originally built as a cathedral, later converted to a mosque, showing off a colossal dome and magnificent interior mosaics

Topkapı Palace The grand, sprawling head of the Ottoman Empire for nearly four centuries, featuring scenic Bosphorus courtyards, holy relics, and a highly elaborate harem

The Grand Bazaar One of the world's oldest and largest covered markets, boasting over 60 narrow pathways and 4,000 shops selling colorful lamps, jewelry, rugs, and spices

Events & Culture

April Istanbul Tulip Festival Every spring, millions of vibrant tulips are planted in city parks (especially Emirgan Park), celebrating the flower's historic Turkish roots with colorful outdoor displays

Local Etiquette Mosque Visits Remove your shoes before entering mosques. Women must cover their hair and shoulders, and both men and women should wear long pants or skirts covering knees

Year-Round Simit, Balık Ekmek & Tea Enjoy a freshly baked sesame-crusted simit, grab a classic Balık Ekmek (grilled mackerel sandwich) by the Eminönü docks, and sip hot Turkish tea served in a traditional tulip-shaped glass.
