Istanbul is a melting pot of rich culture and history, having been inhabited for over 400,000 years. The city's location on the border of Europe and Asia creates a beautiful synthesis of the mystic beauty of eastern culture and the tinge of a contemporary carnival. Istanbul has the personality of a storyteller, slowly revealing its beauty, people, food, architecture, and culture. Istanbul has the historical charm of Hagia Sophia, the picturesque architecture of the Blue Mosque, and splendid shorelines with avant-garde restaurants like Ulus 29 and Mikla overlooking breathtaking scenery.
Because Istanbul is topographically diverse and experiences subclimates in different parts of the city, tourism is undoubtedly at its peak most of the year. The best time to visit Istanbul is between the months of March and May, and September and November, when the weather is pleasant. Summer temperatures are extremely high with high humidity, and winter temperatures can drop to minus 15 degrees.
