When to go, tips and attractions
To enjoy the warm climate, the summer months of May to October are the best time to travel. You could plan your break in Istanbul to coincide with holidays and festivals. The 29th of October is Republic Day while the 19th of May commemorates Ataturk, Youth and Sports Day. Travelling to Istanbul out of peak season provides cheaper accommodation and travel options. It's also less crowded which gives you more opportunity to see places of interest like the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, Dolmabahce Palace and the Galata Tower.

Useful information before you get there
British Nationals need a visa and passports should be valid for at least six months from the date of entry into Turkey. There's plenty of online info regarding visas and vaccinations such as hepatitis A, diptheria, typhus and tetanus. Set your watch two hours ahead you're on the right timeline. The cost of living in Istanbul is a little cheaper than London especially for snacks, kebabs and beer. Stay safe in Istanbul, the traffic can be quite busy and unpredictable. When visiting the city's Grand Bazaar and remember to haggle. Goods are often over priced so haggling will help to bring the price down.
