Istanbul’s Best Districts’ Budget Friendly and Pricey Hotels

I am eager to leave my comfort zone and push myself to try new things. The best way to do it is by traveling. So I keep exploring the world and myself.

Enjoy the magical yet mysterious city of Istanbul! Many of us are crazy for its vast array of beauties but of course, there are specific times to visit depending on the type of trip you’re after; sightseeing, Bosphorus Cruise or shopping. There are popular seasons and low seasons. For sightseeing, spring or autumn is the best time for a visit. For the Bosphorus Cruise, October is best as temperatures are cooler than in the summer. These attractions are in Fatih, Beyoglu, and Nisantasi. The prices for hotels in Istanbul vary from time to time and I’m going to talk about the best hotels in specific districts to suit the purpose of your visit. This is a guide to reasonably priced hotels and elegant yet pricey ones.
