Love you Bery! I've been to magical Istanbul like ten times, one neighborhood I'd definitely recommend is charming Üsküdar (Asian Side, like dynamic Kadıköy). I love it there, the spectacular promenade by the Bosphorus, and also nearby wonderful Kuzguncuk, Çengelköy, Salacak, and Selimiye too! Super well connected by ferry and Marmaray, you get to Historical Peninsula, Karaköy, Kadıköy, Beşiktaş in 15-20 minutes for a very tiny fee! Overall, stay on the Asian Side guys! (4 days in Istanbul at the very least, 2 weeks - 1 month in Turkiye), go to Europe by ferry, it's amazing.

This is the best video I've seen so far! I'm going to Istanbul in 2 weeks and haven't planned anything bc I've been so confused on all the videos and articles and tiktoks I've seen with recommendations, and this really narrowed it down so well with the pros and cons. Thank you!

[fatimaabid]

The best area is Shishane Beyoglu. It is 5 mins walking distance away from Istiklal and Galata and much less noisy than Galat . We stayed at Aspera Golden Horn and 3 of us shared a room with breakfast included for 6 nights and 7 days. It was quite affordable and metro station was right below our hotel. We put in 250 dollars each and did all our sightseeing including Topakkapi Galata Blue Mosque Hagia Sophia, transport and food in this budget. And we ate quite well including Nusrat and nice Places

[jessicaguerrero]

I stayed in the Galata and Taksim areas last month. I absolutely loved those areas. But it is true that there is a lot of night life there. We were walking in Istikal street at about 1 am and it felt like it was broad daylight. There are so many people, young and old, still enjoying themselves at that time. So if nightlife is your thing, I definitely recommend those areas. Besides, transportation is very good from those areas. And if you are brave enough, you can even do some execise and walk to the historical pennisula from there. It's actually not too far away, and you can get to know the city even better.

I have been fortunate enough to visit Istanbul a few times. This video is 100% accurate and you have done a fantastic job describing all these neighborhoods and their pros and cons. My preferred location is an airbnb on the rainbow steps (where you filmed). I also appreciate that fact that you left out Nişantaşı and similar areas that can be considered impractical for the average tourist. I will be referring your videos to all my friends who want to visit Istanbul.

[gabriellagirardi]

Istanbul is undoubtedely amazing and watching your videos I love more and more Turkey. Thanks a lot for this beautiful and informative video.

[nextplaneticket]

Stay away from the turistic areas Istanbul is very well connected from anywhere that you stay, you will get to the main attractions with no problem (metro, bus, tram, ferries etc..) on the turistic areas is expensive a lot of tourist's traps, scams and the food is pricey and not that good, stay on the asian side to enjoy better food and affordable accomodations you thank me later

[carterrogers]

Commenting to say a huge THANK YOU for your Istanbul videos, which greatly helped make my trip an amazing experience. These days, it’s so hard to find real recommendations in a sea of AI-generated articles, so it’s great to have a real person’s expertise.

[velfad]

Istanbul is not known for its beaches but you can actually find decent ones (with shower and sunbeds/umbrellas) if you go to certain isle which is accessible from Kadikoy port. I stayed at a hotel close to the port for only 200tly/day and liked it. Well, it wasn't the largest room you can find for that price but I am not too picky and the location was worth it.

[zaidaparveen]

Hi Bery as always lov ur videos have visited Istanbul on the 27th of June stayed for 10 days and fell I lov with the country. Stayed in the old city area street food was so tasty wil b coming back next Yr to capadocia & Antalya thank u so so much for your videos lov from UK

[istanbulplace]

We have to agree with you about Galata - we’ve been hosting international guests in our short stay historic apartments there for many years. It’s a special neighbourhood ✨

[lmack]

Suggestion on where to stay if I'm just looking for a relaxed coffee at a cafe, local spice/markets, turkish bath/hamam type experience? Not into nightlife maybe I'll go do the touristy stuff one day but mostly just the slow paced and relax vibe. It will be my first time to Istanbul.

[sarabjitkaur]

Hi I am travelling to Istanbul and I was finding information about Istanbul restaurants, bar and transportation and finally I can understand where to go in Istanbul thank you so much lots of love from Italy 🇮🇹

[ihsancagn]

Let me tell you my experience in Istanbul. Stayed in The Story Hotel Pera in Karakoy. You can literally smell the history and feel the ottoman soul there. Staff was extremely helpful and kind, they will guide you for everything. Location is at the heartbeat of Istanbul. You can get anywhere easily. All the taste worthy restaurants you need is near. What else would you expect ? (:

[QueenXKnit]

I stayet in Cihangir & Balat, it was great too, quiet and close to important places ^^

[Profound_Travelz]

Very well organized and informative video. Thank you sooo much! I'm ready for my April trip there

[cristibaluta]

I stayed in Besiktas for a month, it was a bit of walking from the center but i started to like it, and the most i liked was that there are no tourists in Besiktas, it's only you and the locals. Now i'm staying again for a week but closer to the center, so my advice is wherever you stay, stay closer to the center of that area but not inside. And the prices are good, no tourist traps. I also stayed for a month in Buyukada, it was brilliant but is not practical for a tourist.

[bengchuen]

Love your guides. I'm heading to Istanbul next month. Would you be able to share whats the average price of a metro & ferry ride? The price of the Istanbulkart and if there is any credit in the card when purchasing it? Appreciate it!

[Naz-emzr]

Who needs antalya while u can easily get sea of Marmara beaches in Avcilar.
Awesome place.far from noisy tourist areas.
Transport system is good as well
