Hey Türkiye, what do you mean I have to pay £30 to withdraw my own money 😅😅😅

I’ve just arrived in Istanbul, and here are a few things you need to know before you travel here to save you time and money 🇹🇷

Follow to see what we get up to for the week in Istanbul & Cappadocia!

Watch the video to see my top tips for saving money and avoiding known tourist traps when you get here. Comment ISTANBUL and I’ll send all the tips written out straight to your dm for when you get here. With links to get your IstanbulKart, museum pass & book your bus!

My MobiMatter code is STEPH96472 and gets 50% off your first SIM, and 10% off future SIMs. 

Book a Havaist bus for €5 from the airport instead of getting an expensive taxi. You can book the bus online in advance at www.hava.ist

The museum pass costs €105 and is valid for 5 consecutive days. It covers the following sights: 

• Topkapı Palace — €55 (including Harem)
• Hagia Irene — €21
• Galata Tower — €30
• Istanbul Archaeological Museums — €15
• Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts — €17
• Museum of the History of Science and Technology in Islam
• Galata Mevlevi Lodge Museum
• Rumeli Fortress — €6
• Great Palace Mosaic Museum
• Maiden’s Tower — €27
• Fethiye Museum

If you have any Istanbul tips for me, I’d love to hear them so drop them in the comments!
