![]() ![]() ![]() Public transports are running til 12 o'clock at night, if you arrive later, use the app BiTaksi (similar to Uber) to get around!įor hotel/hostel I always use Booking, and try to find a place that is closer to everything I wanna visit, so I don't have to pay too much and spend a lot of time on public transport. ![]() ![]() Fares are around 2-4 TL, you can use it on buses, trams, metro, funicular and even boats. You need an Istanbul card (10 TL = 2 euros), put some money on it (the two of us used around 50 TL in 5 days, since we walked a lot). From here, you can use public transport, which is so-so-so easy to use. If your hotel/hostel is on Europe side, go to Taksim, if it's on Asian side, choose Kadiköy. Just ask for Havabus, you can choose from two destinations: Taksim Square or Kadiköy. From both airports you can take a shuttle bus, they are usually right at the exit. The biggest mistake tourist do is get into a taxi, and this city is "famous" for its overpriced taxis. If you are thinking of visiting, you will probably arrive to either Atatürk Airport or Sabiha Gökcen Airport. Of course there will be men staring and saying some things to you, but let's be honest, that happens everywhere in the world! I think as long as we respect their traditions and don't do anything crazy, we are safe. Also, lots of people ask me if it is safe to travel to Turkey alone as a girl. The most frequent question I got asked is: is it safe? Let me tell you something: YESSSS, it definiely is! I always say the same, the probability of one individual to be in a terrorist attack in a big city as Istanbul (15 million people!!!) is so small! The chance of anyone being in a car accident is bigger, or being in a gun shooting in USA is so much bigger, yet I never heard anyone complain about weather they should go to USA or not, since they might be shot. I will also share all the answers to the questions that I received throughout the years. I have already been a few times in Istanbul, so I knew where to go, what to do, how to get around. Hey everyone! I just realized, I talk soooo much about Istanbul on my social media but never made a big post about it! So I am gonna share with you what we did in this amazing city for 5 days. ![]()
