Solo travel

I went to stay in Istanbul (5 days); Bursa (2 days); Safranbolu (2 days); Goreme (1.5 day); travelled in between using Flixbus and saved up by using 2-3 night buses. Bursa was really my favorite with rich historical context and nature as well as kind people. Highly recommended!

Solo travel

The city has one of the best culture, teas, cats and cigarettes! Although the community is bit rude (the locals) but people who are from the other parts of world were really helpful. I did the budget traveling so overall it was fun and everything within budget. Used public transportation

Solo travel

Istanbul is a city with very friendly people, and public transport makes getting around easy. Be ready for plenty of walking, stairs, and hills—it’s a real workout for your legs and lungs! I would recommend avoiding areas with Palestinian flags, as I didn’t feel safe there.

Couple travel

we went there by car, it's a challenge to drive there really, the city in general is very friendly and peaceful, especially the old town, we stayed right there it was very beautiful and there was delicious food

I think Istanbul is safer during the daytime, especially in crowded areas. Public transportation like the metro is generally safe and easy to use. It’s better to avoid isolated places late at night and stay aware of your surroundings.

istanbul is very safe overall. the only thing you should awere of scam from taxi drivers. there are a tons of place you can visit tons of events you can attend. it is also so touristy so whatever you enjoy you can find it easily.

Theft isn’t very common, but as everywhere else, it’s good to be careful in touristy areas. In general, I wouldn’t say it’s dangerous, but it’s important to stay aware. Younger, more local neighborhoods like Kadıköy and Cihangir are generally quite safe. In more tourist-heavy areas like Beyoğlu and İstiklal Avenue, it’s a good idea to be a bit more cautious, especially in the side streets.

Mostly is safe and crowded, but I AM WRITING FOR AREAS THAT YOU SHOULD AVOID, and there aint no touristical things anyways, -TARLABASI - its ok at daylight vut leave there after 5pm -Dont be at middle streets after 1 am in anykind of place. -THE PLACES YOU CAN GO AS VIEW, TOURISTICAL ETC.
