• Mobile data is patchy: 4G from Türk Telekom and Vodafone only, nothing from Turkcell, and nothing on the approach highways (check current coverage).
• The citadel has been under restoration and rebuilding: parts may be closed or fenced, but entry has been possible.
• The Sivas dolmuş services have no fixed timetable — they leave when full, so build in slack.
• Winter brings snow and road closures on the D260/D850; check conditions before driving.
• Carry cash: small businesses may not take cards, and there is no big supermarket.
