Rules in force · 7Cobbled slopes in Sultanahmet, Galata and Karaköy defeat …
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Check whether your passport needs a visa, and if so apply only on the official e-Visa portal; lookalike sites add fees.
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗At mosques cover shoulders and knees, take your shoes off at the door, and women carry a headscarf; do not walk in front of people praying.
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Yellow taxis must run the meter; agree nothing else, or use a ride-hailing app that shows the fare upfront.
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Carry Turkish lira in small notes for ferries, mosques, tea and markets; prices change fast, so check quoted prices against the current rate.
- Marmara ↗Ferries to the islands and across the Bosphorus run less often in strong wind; check the last boat before you cross.
- Istanbul ↗Cobbled slopes in Sultanahmet, Galata and Karaköy defeat suitcases: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk or a tram.
- Istanbul ↗Trams, metro, buses and public ferries all take the Istanbulkart; buy one at a kiosk on arrival and load it with lira.
