Historically, the city functioned as the capital of the Roman, Byzantine.
Must-try foods nearby
- Cağ Kebabı
Originating from Erzurum but perfected in Istanbul's backstreets (like Şehzade), this is a horizontal rotisserie kebab. - Balık Dürüm
While 'Balık Ekmek' (fish sandwich) is the classic, the 'Balık Dürüm'—specifically the spicy. - Mantı
Often called 'Turkish Ravioli,' these tiny hand-folded dough pockets are typically filled with spiced ground meat. - Kokoreç
A quintessential Istanbul late-night street food. It consists of spiced, grilled lamb intestines wrapped around sweetbreads. - İskender Kebap

When to go: The best time to visit Istanbul is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October), when the weather is mild and pleasant for exploring. Summer (July and August) can be uncomfortably hot, humid.
Local tips
- Purchase an Istanbulkart for seamless and discounted access to all public transportation, including metros, trams, and Bosphorus ferries.
- When dining, it is customary to leave a cash tip of 5-10% on the table, as most credit card machines do not have a gratuity option.
- Accepting an offer of tea (çay) is a sign of respect and hospitality, even if you only stay for a few minutes.
- Always use official yellow taxis with active meters or ride-hailing apps like BiTaksi to ensure fair pricing and safety.
