I was just in Istanbul last week. Beautiful city and a cultural Mecca. Soo many thing to do and not enough time. People are very polite and very friendly. Although it is true that once you engage with the merchants they won't let you go. Food is delicious and very affordable. A city easy to get by foot to the main landmarks.
You feel safe at any time wherever you are. I recommend to visit Turkey and have a wonderful vacation.
I would go back anytime.
Totally agreed!! 😊
We are planning to go in May '22, our problem is that we cannot walk for long, being not young. Is Uber available?
Yes there is and many taxis around everywhere so it’s easy to flag one down (and cheap to get a ride). The only downside is the traffic. In the downtown area it’s very congested and you could be not moving for a long time. The metro would be faster but it’s less easy
@@worldwildhearts
Take comfortable shoes, there is a lot o walking to do and streets ma be steep in some areas.
Lots of stairs to climb, specially in Cappadocia……
Have fun and enjoy!!!!!!
Oh, and the Blue Mosque 🕌 is being restored. Everything inside is covered. They pray 5 times a day. Make sure you go when they are not praying because you can’t get in. Otherwise you have to go back later.
Also take socks along when you visit any Mosque. You cannot bring any shoes inside.
The Suleymaniye Mosque it’s beautiful.
The area of Sultanahmet has a lot of the historic attractions and little stores for shopping.
Watch the videos of Turkey on UA-cam. They are very helpful.
I have been living in Istanbul for a year now. It is warm and has a lot of greenery.
I love the cries of seagulls, the views of vibrant city neighborhoods, and the meditative prayers from mosques.
The architecture in the city is diverse and impressive. My favorite mode of transportation is the surface metro, which runs along the coastline of the Sea of Marmara.
Nice! Glad you're enjoying life in Istanbul!
I’ll be going to Istanbul in a month. I want to get a dagger or some cool traditional knife or weapon
@@ramrodnj in my time ur now in turkey ig hope u enjoy i really love turkey i live in there for 5 years
if the traffic was a bit less and there were some less idiots(the people are mostly not bad but there are exceptions) and drivers were a little better İstanbul would be the perfect city
As a Turk, I would like to say this. Visit Turkey, eat food, visit mosques and historical sites. But do not argue with any Turks in traffic. You can get into trouble and fights can break out at any time.
Haha yeah all the other stuff is great! 😂 some crazy drivers as well!
@@worldwildhearts :)
Never had an issue!! - I love Turkey and the Turkish! I never regret spending my money there as I get much more in return than expected!)
@@NatkaGlam You're welcome again ☺️
😍
I had lived and worked in Turkey for 6 years. Your introduction about Istanbul is very super. Thanks a lot for your super video.
Thank you for the nice comment! ☺️ Must have been fun living and working there!
We never got scammed and its not because we were watching videos like yours. Its because we take our common sense with us when we are going for a holiday.
Tebrikler.Turkiyeden selamlar.
If you come to Istanbul and stay for 5 days, you will never want to leave again.. Because Istanbul is one of the 5 most beautiful cities in the world..Of course it is a very crowded city..There is a proverb in Turkish; "Take the bitter with the sweet." Greetings from Istanbul to the whole world 🙋
🙏🙏
I want to come and spend two weeks and now I'm really scared.))
I have to get back to Russia somehow.
Hi
This is a great video for those with limited time in Istanbul. For those who have an extended stay I highly recommend exploring the Asian side, Kadikoy. Also Ortakoy and Bebek are amazing along the Bosphorous if you want to experience life like the local working professionals of Turkey and see some amazing views and get away from all the tourists. Great nightlife and amazing fine dining available as well!
Thank you. Can you recommend a good 4-star boutique style in Kadikoy please? Thanks
There is a current travel advisory for Turkey. One must be mad to go in the nest of jihadis
Hi. I live in Istanbul . I can help your friend for a better visit in Istanbul and in other cities
Currently living in turkey 🇹🇷 and I can’t wait to explore it more and I just open a UA-cam channel
And Levent
My mother and I are planning to move to Turkey so this video was awesome thanks for this :D and also praying for all the turkish brother and sisters affected from the earthquakes ❤
Good luck with your new chapter! 🤩
english man here what a place to go. Realy nice people too a must to go will be back...
I lived in Istanbul for 9 years, and a Bosporus cruise, all the way up to the Black Sea, is an absolute must. Government ferries are reasonably priced and leave from Eminönu every morning at 10.30
Thank you so much, guys! Short but informative video! I'll be visiting Istanbul this summer. Thank you for sharing the tips about things to avoid and to be on the look out for.
Thanks for watching! Have a wonderful trip. Glad it was helpful info!

Istanbul Is magnificent, amazing city.Great, video.Thank, you very much.
Thanks for watching ☺️
As you mentioned at your video, there are too many things to do in Istanbul. I would recommend to visit Dolmabahce Palace, The grand island, Besiktas- the bosphorus view, and eating kumpir in Besiktas, eating fish-bread in Eminonu, waking bosphorus coast aroun Beykoz and Sariyer.
Awesome!! Thanks for the extra things to do ☺️☺️
Nice video , thanks for sharing !
Thanks for watching!! 😊
Thanks for the tips! Very nice video!
Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful ☺️

You guys are awesome awesome awesome there’s so many things you’re doing right as a UA-camr myself the first thing is I love the moving map so you’re orientated on the different areas that you’re talking about almost nobody else does this. I’ve always done this on my UA-cam videos and you guys are superstars. In addition your easy-going way is very good and you seem to be very interested in helping us make the best of our trip thank you!
Thanks so much!! Great to hear and yes we always use the maps as we think it's helpful!

I love Turkish people.May we as Muslims unite and never let the bad guys hurt our brothers and definitely protect our MUSLIM sisters from the monsters.( You Know ).You know what was done to Bosniak women and young girls in that aggression,right????
@@thanaidar1 In Istanbul?
@@thanaidar1 Istanbul?
Ich war 3 Mal in Istanbul und nie ein schwindel erlebt. Bei 15 Millionen Touristen Stadt ist es aber auch normal wenn man bisschen abgezockt wird, aber das ist sehr geringfügig in Istanbul gegenüber andere Groß Städte.
Sooo informative, thank you!
Thanks for watching ☺️
that was a great video, thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
You guys are great! We followed your advice to book at Freetours and had a great tour of the Sultan Ahmet area, great lunch at Sirva Sofrasi and a great sunset cruise of the Bosporus. Great tip to tour the Hagia Sophia after 8pm, we walked right in and avoided the 1.5 hour queue.
Great to hear! That tour really was great as you learn so much about Istanbul 😁
Did you say 8pm at night? Thanks!
Really helpful video with great music! It's like I'm already in Istanbul, but I'm going on Sunday...
Have fun!
@@worldwildhearts Thank you!!!
So informative, thanks!

The best,precise and helpful video for tourist especially those who have limited days in Istanbul
Glad it’s helpful! ☺️
u from turkey?
Great video..in our recent trip, we enjoyed Taksim Square and bustling roads around that place..
Awesome! Glad to hear ☺️
As an alternative to a boat tour, just get on a ferry from Eminönü and travel across to Kadıköy on the Asian side, you'll be able to enjoy the classic Istanbul skyline and maybe feed the seagulls too. Just don't show interest in venders pushing their products just say; sadece bakıyorum. ( I'm only looking). This will make them believe that you know Turkish and they will hopefully back off. If not just walk away and ignore them. This is a useful tip when visiting all of Turkey. There can be huge variations in prices at restaurants on the same street so check the prices before eating. Definitely stay in Beyoğlu, on the European side. You can ride down a funicular train at Tünel and cross the Galata Bridge on foot or take a tram to the Sultan Ahmed Mosque where you'll find Hagia Sofia and The Topkapı Palace close together. Some great advice in this video. Enjoy this great city
Great tips and additions!! Thanks ☺️
Great video..Also thanks for your important tips Altan.. I am planning to visit soon and will apply your suggestion.
Один из любимых городов.

Awesome! Have a great time in Istanbul 😊
Best tip I can give you. Don’t pay tourist prices. “American prices”
How was your journey? Did you like it ?
@@nekkieslife9793 it was very nice, got caught in bad weather though so I didn’t get to enjoy a very sunny Istanbul. Also a tip, Uber is now working there normally so keep that in mind so you don’t get scammed. I was there in 2020 and there was some sort of ban on foreign taxi services which led me to pay a very heavy tourist tax taking a taxi.
Congratulations from Bulgaria 🇧🇬
Thanks 😊

Hi. I live in Istanbul . I can help your friends for a better visit in Istanbul and in other cities in Turkey
Except for the Hamam, I did most of them like Topkapi Palace, Galata Tower, Bosphorus Cruise, Grand Bazaar, Basilica Cistern, Galata Bridge, Istiklal Street, Aya Sofia Mosque and Blue Mosque. Others not on your video that I've visited are Buyukada (Princes Island Tour), Sulemainye Mosque, Ayup Sultan Mosque, Gulhane Park, Rustem Pasha Mosque, Spice Bazaar, Pierre Lotti Cable Car ride, Taksim Square, Dolmabahce Palace, Rumeli Fortress. Bosphorus Bridge, Chora Church (or Mosque), Camlica Hill (Asian side) and Camlica Mosque (Asian side)
Wow you did all of them!! How long were you there for?
@@worldwildhearts It was 6 days that I stayed
I know that I did Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, Aya Sofia Mosque, Blue Mosque and Gulhane Park on one day.
Did Sulemainye Mosque, Chora Church, Grand Bazaar, Galata Tower, Galata Bridge (and eating in one of the fish restaurant underneath the bridge) on one day.
The Bosphorus Cruise included stopping at Dolmabahce Palace, Rumeli Fortress then onto Bosphorus Bridge to the Asian side and visited Camlica Hill and Camlica Mosque in one day.
Did the Princes Island Tour (Buyukada - which we went on a horse carriage ride around the island) then came back to Istanbul and visited Spice Bazaar and Rustem Pasha Mosque in one day.
Visited Istiklal Street and Taksim Square in the morning then went to Pierre Lotti Cable Car and Ayup Sultan Mosque in the afternoon by taking a taxi - done in one day
And a day trip to Bursa from Istanbul - well known for its Iskender kebab
Yes I fit them all in without any problems - I am very good at planning and scheduling being an experienced traveller to an excess of 30 countries
When did you go there as the Basilica Cistern is currently closed?
@@tinman8753 In 2014
It looks like you went on the Bosphorous boat tour as I did everything on your list except for the Princes Island cruise as I missed it and the Basilica Cistern as it was closed.
After ur video, Now I am visiting Istanbul ❤
Enjoy!
Like their plates very colorful 😀
Great Walk Thanks, Keep it up 😎👍👌
Thanks for watching! 😊
It is a great video! But i would like to add Dolmabahçe Palace to this list which is very important place for Turkish history ☺️
Yes thanks!! We didn’t visit it this time around but Ine has been there a few years ago! (No footage of it unfortunately!)
@I don't like lgbtq one of them, yes. But it built in 19th century. The main home of sultans was Topkapi Palace. The importance of Dolmabahce is that the palace used in both Ottoman Empire and modern Turkish republic. And, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the modern Republic of Turkey, has died in Dolmabahce
Thanks! that was nice!!
Thanks for watching 🤩
AMAZING VIDEO 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

That’s cool! We might have been there at the same time indeed. We were there the week before Christmas! 😄 was definitely a lot quieter
@@worldwildhearts oh yes so did we! what area did you guys stay in?
Near Istiklal in Beyoglu! We really liked that area as it was vibrant in the evening and filled with lights and decorations 😄 what about you?
@@worldwildhearts We were in the sultanahmet area, near the blue mosque! It was close to all of the main sights in your video!
