Istanbul Guide - Istanbul in 2 Days

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2016
- *****IMPORTANT UPDATES******
1-) The airport in the video (Ataturk Airport) is closed now. Most planes to Istanbul land in the new "Istanbul Airport", which is not connected to the city (yet) by tram or metro. However there are shuttle buses - the schedules are here: www.hava.ist/tr
A taxi from the airport to Taksim or Sultanahmet costs about 440 TL.
Check fares here : havalimaniulasim.com
2-) It is now free to enter Hagia Sophia as it no longer serves as a museum but a mosque. This also means that you have to follow the norms when you normally visit other places of worship like covering your hair (if you are a woman) etc.
3-) The government now controls all movement in the country and access to all facilities like restaurants, museums etc. by a code called HES. At the moment, this code is available for everyone, being dependent on a negative COVID PCR test result required upon entry to the country.

I've travelled most of cities in Europe and I have never seen as beautiful as a city like Istanbul.
I love that city too
Same
I can't travel due to disability but thank you for your reference that I can understand as comparing to European cities. I love Turkey and would love to see Istanbul.
@@brianbarcus5853 I'm living in Germany and I travelled to Turkey this year. After I came back to Germany, I literally cried that night because I missed that beautiful country.. :(
Wonderful video by a solo female traveler. Seeing her confidence and ease with which she navigates Istanbul is inspirational. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey we're not monsters, we don't bite. A city that is more crowded than almost 10 European countries has very safe places and very dangerous places. This is just like New York and Los Angeles. :D
@Batu Çelik True 😂
@@mustafasavul I would love to visit Turkey and experience the Turkish culture and beautiful places. I watch many travel shows and it looks so nice and the people seem so friendly and have such a great culture.

I'm from Jamaica in the Caribbean. I visted Turkey in January 2019 and spent 3 months there. Had the opportunity of visiting many places in Instanbul - like Galatia Tower and Taksim Square. Went to Izmir and toured the ancient city of Ephesus also.
Turkey has beautiful and awesome architecture , courteous and polite people. Turkish cuisine is simply amazing and delightful! Definitely planning to visit again!💕💕💕
Monica W hi, if you don’t mind me asking, what part of Istanbul would you recommend staying in? I plan on visiting for a long weekend.
@@bellat5296 There are numerous beautiful hotels in the vicinity of the Galatia Tower...which is also close to Taksim Square, however your Travel Agent, if you have one, could advise you better. Enjoy! Instanbul is really beautiful !
I live Turkey it is a beautiful countery and very clean.
Turkish cuisine is very delicious .
Last two years, now retired using Airbnb have been traveling around Europe a great deal and have watched many of these types of videos, also as an ex teacher and presenter, wish you to know certainly one of the best and I have seen a great deal. You are VERY good. Clear, informative, use of the maps, routes and times to show where you went and transport options, costs ( ie from airport) absolutely spot on. Currently considering Istanbul as a drop off point on my way to Japan and will now seriously consider now going to Istanbul.
Lovely video! I'm Lebanese, I live in Beirut & I've been to Istanbul 5 times so far, just love it! Will definitely go back soon, so much to see & such an epic city with an uncountable amount of charm! Thank you for this well thought out video & much love from Lebanon!
Thank you!
Video has been done tastefully, i always wanted to go to Istanbul, now after watching this video, i want to go there more than ever before. well done and thank you.
Hello Lebanon from Indonesia! One of our country on the list to be visited.
That was a very informative tour of Istanbul! The maps and all of the practical info was fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to make a really fun youtube video
Şöyle yorumlara baktım da yabancılar ülkemiz şehrimiz hakkında ne kadar güzel şey yazmışlarsa bizim Türkler de neredeyse hep kötülemiş. Ben bizim milletimiz kadar ülkesini kötüleyen küçümseyen millet görmedim arkadaş elin yabancısına neden kötülüyorsun ki adam ne güzel beautiful city yazmış verilen cevap ‘Bok beautiful city’ adam İstanbul’a gitmek istiyorum yazmış ‘don’t do this’ yazmış verilen cevaplara bak ya!
Nankor milletiz
bizim bunu yapmamızın sebebi aslında her zaman en iyisininde iyisini istememizdir ama bu eleştirileri yaparken farkında olmadan yapılmak isteninin çok uzağına gidiyoruz
@Limp business, merak ediyorsan, ilk idam cezasini sana vermeliler, yoksa senin hakkını yimiș olurlar, bunuda kimse isteyemez galiba.. 😀
İstanbul da gerçekten yaşamakla turist olarak gelmek ayrı şeyler. Ayrıca hangi gelir sınıfından olduğunuz evinizin işinizin mesleğinizin ne olduğu önemli. Bizde ki temel problem sahip olduğumuz doğal zenginliklere topraklara rağmen ne geçmiş kültürünü yaşatabilen ve ne de gerçek anlamda çağdaş olabilen zihniyetimiz...
"adam ne güzel beautiful city yazmış verilen cevap ‘Bok beautiful city’ "... XD zaaaa
you can pronounce the places that are turkish named very well. congrats. most of the tourists can not pronounce them like you.
Talha Özdemir isn't she Turkish?
Probably she is, cause its the perfect pronunciation that a foreigner cannot do
@Kayra Guner bunu yazmak için gelmiştim. Çultanahmet...
ulan bir kere şöyle bizim gibi istanbul diyene rastlamadım
They helped my people for the diffcult time 😍❤❤i just love this country ❤❤from Somalia
i have been maybe 50 diffirent countries and cities and i have sadly been only 1 time in istanbul , i can clearly say that its the best city i have ever been. crazy blended city , it has min 2k year history still viable. really really worth to be 1. place in your future visit list. i guarantee u will never seen something ever in your entire life
Min. 6.10 where she is standing overlooks the Bosphorus Straits is called the Golden Horn and it is not difficult to realize why it is called that and why the empirors of times past chose to build their palaces there. The view is breathtaking and charming. Standing there for the first time I felt I was litrally charmed and out of present time with the majesty, beauty, awsomeness and the greatness of the past. I have been on top of Empire State Building in New York before, I have been inside the Statue of Liberty but was not awed as was by the view from the edge of the Golden Horn and Asia.
nice video, Istanbul is beautiful
Constantinople is beautiful
@@LondonPower you need brain
nice. this is the simplest and clear guide of Istanbul! thanks for the wonderful video.
Congratulations on the one million views!!! Richly deserved as this is one of the best short Istanbul travel guides for tourists. Thank you so much. :)
Thanks Metarus208!
@@Filmhouse24 Thanks for double-checking on my username :)
I've been to Turkey 3-4 times. I wish I would've seen your video before I visited. This is such a practical and well made video. I'm getting ready for my fourth trip. Only this time, I want to see Ephesus and some other parts of Turkey. I absolutely love Turkey.
Now thats how you cover a city... its main touristy parts... with relevant information. well made, well done!
It was an Excellent video....I was at Levent 4, Istanbul with my family from Feb - Aug 2016 . I visited all those places several times. Your video reminded me those of my beautiful days at Istanbul....Thank you for nice video and description....Lovely city...lovely people....
One of the better videos I have seen on Turkey. So informative and precisely what tourists want to know. Love the maps, transportation info, food prices. Keep it up you are amazing.

Zoe you are VERY good with your clear, informative, use of the maps, routes and times to show where you went and transport options, costs absolutely spot on.

Istanbul here I come!
Very helpful We are visiting in two weeks and really didn't know what we wanted to do. You have given us some excellent tips and ideas. Thank you.
Estambul está en mi top 5 de mejores ciudades en el mundo, por su diversidad de cultura, por su gente, por su comida y por la buena vibra que tiene la ciudad.
hagia sofia deserves way more than 10 seconds...and has greek elements characteristics and history as the city was built by the ancient greeks..do your homework next time :)beside that,your video is one of the best i ve ever seen about THE city

Someone carry me

Well,I've been living in Istanbul for 14 years,and still i haven't managed to climb up to the galata tower;the entry fee and the line of people waiting to get inside is ridicilous,sadly.

Dear Zoe,
thank you for your lovely view of Istanbul.
I especially liked it that you have visited on Autmn/Winter.
It seems to be more quite and relaxed than during the spring and summer period.
And I know these Coffe-Seller. I brought few pacages for my family. It's was really great.
Yes, you are right. Autumn and spring are the best months. December is also okay, but I'm not sure about January and February...
WOW! I am planning on visiting Istanbul and this is one of the most informative and helpful videos I've ever seen, thank you very much for the amazing content.
Thank you for this beautiful video of Istanbul. Turkey is definitely now on my traveling list.
Very well explained (subtitled in Spanish) to visit Istanbul, a charming city and full of tourist attractions.
Thank you Zoe, greetings from Quito- Ecuador, South America, in the middle of the world!
Mauro Vasconez yo voy esta semana a istanbul. Algunos tips?
i dont see in my life like this beatifull city in the world !
Where do u live ? And yes thats true.Istanbul is really beautiful city.You should visit here ♥️
Most beautiful and attractive and historical city in the world. Millions of tourists come to this city for tourism in a year. I have visited multiple times. There is no such a beautiful city in the world.
there are a lot more places to visit in Istanbul such as Çamlıca, Anadolu Hisarı, Maiden Tower which are all in Asian side. if you ever come back let me know I'll take you to cooler places!
And also you are the first ever person to have the most accurate pronounciation I've ever seen! and it also shows how much you put into your work! good job.
One Week and I’ll be there !I love Istanbul !
Did you like it?
Reşit Balbay -my favor place !

Beautiful country and beautiful people. As a Black American I didn't get unsual stares or people looking at me like I didn't belong. These peope don't know racism and are some of the friendliest people in the World. The Euro and American dollar goes so far here. I miss Istanbul. The Turkish food is great. I miss this country and I look forward toward returning back to Istanbul and it's Lovely people once again.

Great intro to Istanbul and really well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻now I can’t wait because I want to go too, so thankyou 👍
Great job on this tutorial for first time visitors to Istanbul. The number one concern of all visitors to a new city is obtain a good map and the choice of buses, trams and metros to get around.
After that is solved, it's easy sailing then and onto sightseeing.
Great job!
Thanks Global Adventurer. You understand us really well!
Awesome vlog,thanks .
Exactly what I want to see. The video is instructional, and clear. Thank you. Continue w this format for all your travels. Thk you

Wonderful video, nice places ,very different and wonderful beautiful city very historic fun, lot of options and the prices sounds pretty reasonable ! You looks very pretty wearing your wide scarf wrapped around your neck and you got wonderful taste for clothes :) The place looks pretty could I didn't know that. What was the temp ? and what time of the year did you visit Istanbul ?
Thanks Ursulino.)) I agree with what you said, and the prices are now even more reasonable as Turkish Lira fell tragically in the last year. The temperature is around 10 degrees centigrade in spring and autumn, this is spring
Çok güzel tanıtılmış canım Istanbul, tesekkurler ♥️🇹🇷
Visiting Istanbul from Chicago soon. Thanks for the great video!
Very good and informative

you present very beautifully
love you turkey from Pakistan
why Pakistan dont have beautiful city? Pakistan have more old city, old fort, palace, wall. Why trash, plastic, in roads, streets, no hygiene, not clean a country. same with Bangladesh, Turkey, Malaysia, Morocco, Syria, Iraq(Before war) beautiful with heritage building, old fort, wall, palace, castle
@@safuwanfauzi5014 Unfortunately, its literally heart -breaking when we compare Pakistan with Turkey ...Now a days there is so much trash ,smoke and plastic in roads that sometimes I feel that the trash is not in city but the city is in trash.......And yes we had more old city ,fort and palaces...There is Indus Valley Civilizations 5000 years old....Some of the cities are so old like Walled City in Lahore that they seemed to be living museum....We had 2nd largest mountain in the world(K-2)....meeting point of three high peaks....
But no tourists.....Even the local tourists are very less...And this is because of many reasons like corruption , fraud , lack of education ..the list is too long to discuss.....
Well, respect for Turkish Brothers and sisters....
Its so nice to see you living in peace...
@@maryamjaved1571 Pakistani must change habit throw trash, plastic in streets, roads or even Poop in river, sometime not all thing government can do, Pakistan will be beautiful like Malaysia, Jordan, Morocco, Turkey, Syria(before war old city of Aleppo, Damascus) and will be tourist attraction. Europe. Australia & America are clean not prefect but good.
Thanks for the great video! So informative and at the same time entertaining:) you are a great narrator!
Pls do another vid with Istanbul, it has more interesting stuff to explore :)))
Turkey is a very safe country. Almost no crime. They have the best food in the world. Their breakfasts are very wholesome and wonderful and very welcoming to tourists. They do not discriminate based on religion, language or race. They say that he who eats and sleeps when his neighbor is hungry is not one of us.
Very useful and nicely explained. Thank you for sharing your trip
Thanks for your video! Next stop - Istanbul!
I am here in Istanbul since yesterday. I am amazed. Have already seen Hagia Sophia. Stunning. After that, I was sitting on a restaurant with rooftop view. And eating deliciously.
We are planning to see some of your destinies as well. Looking really forward to it. Thanks for this lovely video.
Have fun!
Very nicely done. I'll refer to this video again, when I make the trip to Istanbul.
A wonderful city
Nice Video.Thank You.
Çok güzel videolarınız .Ülkemizi tanıttığınız için çok teşekkürler
A quick summary and good explanation. Well done! I am advising my foreign friends to watch before they make any plans. Next time you should explore more though :)
hello why all turkish says oskaldem or something like that after saying merhaba, what means?
İt has a religinous meaning
-selamun aleykum
-aleykum selam
@@halilaytan5926 I mean hoş geldiniz now I now it means welcome. Tesskuller Halil!
Merhaba is hello, hoshgeldeniz is welcome. Every person in every type of retail will say this. If you buy something, say Teshukular - it's thank you. (I know I'm not spelling this in actual Turkish.)
I wish they spoke like that more in North America instead of just ignoring customers. Stupid COVID preventing travel... it's like a prison in here.
Good movie and great you
nice video, reminds me back 6 years ago there ... wish go back again
wow so touching , thanks Filmhouse , you had done a great job.
She is so confident as if she has visited this place several times
Nice video
I love Turkey
