Overview to visit Istanbul at its best
May to June and September to Novembre are nice periods for touring Instanbul, as temperatures are milder, varying between 18°C and 24°C, and thanks to a better degree of wetness.
Istanbul offers lots of interesting historical and cultural sights, though, like synagogues and mosques, churches, monuments and museums, a sole opportunity to get in touch with such a magic atmosphere! Better on foot!
Just immagine the extrordinary mosqes, supreme witness of Islamic architecture and the multicolured always crowded Grand Bazar! How impressive!
Among its most important venues are the Topkapi Palace, Saint Sophia Museum, and Sultanahmet, not to mention the numerous sights widespread throughout the city.
