When is the best time to go to Istanbul?
The most popular time to visit Istanbul is in May, when the city bursts into bloom and the weather is pleasantly warm, with temperatures ranging from 15 to 25 Celsius. This makes it an ideal season for leisurely strolls through the historic Sultanahmet district, where you can marvel at the majestic Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.

During the peak tourist season, which spans from June to August, Istanbul becomes a vibrant hub of activity. While this period is characterised by bustling streets and lively festivals, it's worth noting that it can also get quite warm, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C. For those who thrive in a lively atmosphere, summer offers an exciting array of events and a chance to enjoy outdoor dining along the Bosphorus, where you can indulge in delicious Turkish cuisine while taking in the stunning views.

For travellers seeking a quieter experience with fewer crowds, consider visiting in October. This month often features delightful weather, with temperatures still hovering around 20°C, making it superb for exploring the city's many parks and attractions. The autumn scenery adds a charming touch as the leaves begin to change, providing a picturesque backdrop for your adventures.

Furthermore, if you're looking for value, May is an excellent choice. With lower accommodation rates and fewer tourists, you can enjoy the sights and sounds of Istanbul without the hustle and bustle of peak season. This is also a great time to delve into the local culture and visit the many bazaars and markets at a more leisurely pace.
