Citizens of many countries — including the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and EU member states — are eligible. Some nationalities are exempt from visa requirements for short stays. We recommend checking the official portal or contacting your nearest Turkish consulate for the most up-to-date information based on your nationality.

Sports & nature

Istanbul offers exciting outdoor experiences along its waterways and parks. Enjoy kayaking, sailing, or fishing on the Bosphorus or the Marmara Sea. Take a scenic ferry ride between Europe and Asia, walk through the lush Belgrad Forest, or explore the Princes' Islands by bicycle. The city's unique geography — surrounded by water and hills — makes it perfect for nature lovers seeking adventure within an urban setting.

Nightlife info

Istanbul comes alive after sunset. The vibrant Beyoğlu district is the heart of the city's nightlife, featuring İstiklal Street, Taksim Square, and the historic Galata Tower surrounded by bars, restaurants, and cultural venues. Enjoy a magical sunset cruise along the Bosphorus on a luxury yacht, witness the spiritual Whirling Dervishes ceremony, or experience traditional Turkish dance shows at Hodjapasha Cultural Center. For unforgettable dining with a view, book a table at one of Istanbul's renowned rooftop restaurants overlooking the Bosphorus skyline.

Culture and history info

Istanbul is a living museum where empires meet. Begin in Sultanahmet, where five iconic landmarks stand within walking distance: Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome, and the Grand Bazaar. Discover the Ottoman heritage at Topkapi Palace's Harem, walk the cobblestones of Balat and Fener — once home to Muslims, Jews, and Christians living side by side — and visit Eyüp Sultan Mosque, a sacred site for Muslims worldwide. Cross to the Asian side via public ferry and immerse yourself in the authentic local life of Kadıköy, far from the typical tourist trail.
