My name's Camden.

I move to a new country every single month and these are the things that I wish I knew

before I came and spent the last month and a half here in Istanbul.

First tip that totally tricked me up the first night.

There's something called Galataport and if you're a cruise ship person to come through Istanbul,

that's where you're going to dock and the place seems so nice but avoid that place like no other.

That place is just a tourist trap.

Everything's really expensive.

The restaurants are no good.

Get as far away from the Galataport as you can.

So that's tip number one.

Second thing is this is a crazy loud city and sort of spring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

Towards the end of this video I'm going to talk about

which areas of town I recommend staying in

if you're trying to avoid some of that but yeah just make sure

that you have some earplugs if you are that light sleeper and also make sure to pack really good walking shoes.

This city is really spread out.

It takes a long time to get from one point to another

and most of the time you're going to be doing walking and there's a lot of hills.

So you're dealing with The cobblestone treats going up hills,

I don't know, it can be a real challenge.

So make sure that you have the proper footwear.

But if you don't want to do all the walking,

I highly recommend you actually utilize their public transportation system because it is great.

They have like the metro,

they've got like their subway version thing, these carts.

They have the ferries.

I mean, it's really, really well connected.

And that's really the best way to get around.

And just get yourself one of these when you come in.

It's called the Istanbul Cart.

And you can basically get them outside of any ferry port or metro line.

I think it costs like two dollars to actually get the card

and then you can just load it up with as much

as you want Next piece is saving yourself some money

If you want to be on the water

and take a boat tour you can if you want to

but if you're looking to save some cash Don't

and instead utilize this card and just take the ferry over to the Asia

or European side Whichever place you're staying on go to the opposite,

but basically the ferry ride they're like 50 cents They're fantastic views.

They're running all day You can hop on them from like any point.

Really great views, really comfortable,

and it's just a much cheaper way to do things.

Like 50 cents, that's a steal.

I guess you've got to come back so a dollar

but who wouldn't want to spend a dollar for a boat ride

and kind of feel like you're living like a local

so definitely save some money there and do that another tip

that I recommend for everybody is you can actually download Google Maps

and this is a pretty important city to do that in mainly

because the Wi-Fi is a bit spotty this isn't really one

of those cities where it's like yeah just go down the main road

and turn left no there's gonna be a lot of turns and tricky navigations.

There are a lot of tight super cute streets

but things can get confusing so you're definitely gonna want a map

and if you're wanting to make sure that you always have connection I definitely recommend an eSIM called Aerolo.

I used it here for the last month and a half

and it worked like a charm and saved me multiple times

so I'll leave a link in the description so you can try that.

If you're not familiar with an eSIM it's basically a way of getting a SIM card

but electronically and they're great

because it doesn't give you a new phone number you can still text

and call like normal it's just giving you data

so you can browse the internet make sure you can navigate your way it's just super simple

and you can download it before your trip okay

so this next one is a little bit weird maybe a little bit gross

but i think you should know about it

and i haven't heard other people talking about it

so there are obviously a lot of cats in istanbul

and dogs and birds and the locals do such an incredible job taking care of the cats

that they leave food out everywhere so all the cats are fed

and that is awesome two things happen with that though one The dogs also eat all the food,

so there's a lot of poop around on the ground,

but it's not the poop on the ground that you're looking out for.

It's actually coming from the sky because the birds,

they eat everything as well,

and these birds are massive.

And the worst part, big birds mean really, really big poops.

So I hope that you have better luck than me in kind of wood getting pooped on,

but maybe just have some wet wipes in your bag so you can wipe yourself off when it does happen.

So, I don't know, fingers crossed for you, and next tip.

If you're coming ready to experience the coffee, definitely experience it.

Note that it's not gonna be quite the coffee that you've experienced in other countries.

It's very different.

But also note that tea is actually the primary drink here in Turkey.

While Turkish coffee is awesome in its own disgusting ways in my opinion the tea is really really good

and that's what most people are drinking all the time they

come in these awesome cups it's really satisfying to drink out of

so be ready for a lot of tea

and coffee this next one's a small tip and it doesn't really matter

but just something to be prepared for there's definitely a lot

less english spoken here amongst the locals than other european country

so be prepared for a lot of Turkish

which is a tough language to figure out you still shouldn't have too much of an issue communicating with folks

but don't be expecting everybody to be able to understand all of your English

so unless you're awesome

and actually know Turkish just be prepared to slow down the dialogue just a little bit

when talking with some of the locals who don't know English quite as well

100

and another thing to note is when you're going to the mosques because because you should definitely check them out.

101

They are so, so beautiful.

102

Two big tips here.

103

One, they're free, but make sure to get there as early as possible in the day.

104

I tend to recommend getting there around like the 9.30, 10 a.m mark for two reasons.

105

One is that you'll beat most of the tourists and the tour groups.

106

Two is that the mosques actually close for prayer time.

107

Now you can just look up the mosque and see exactly what time they're closed for prayer time,

108

but the lines get really long when people don't realize that they're gonna be closed.

109

The line backs up, it's just something that you want to avoid

110

and note that you will have to take off your shoes before entering

111

and they've got these cubbies where you can just keep them

112

but the tip here is actually bring a pair of socks because

113

if you're anything like me it just doesn't feel the best

114

walking around on like this sweaty carpet where everybody else is either barefoot

115

or have their sweaty socks so it might feel cleaner to just have

116

that spare pair and pop those on when you're leaving the mosque

117

but definitely check those out

118

and then the last thing i wanted to give you tips about is just

119

which area of town to stay in depending on what you're looking for.

120

So a few big areas.

121

There's the Faith area, which is where most of the big mosques are going to be.

122

And you're going to be really close to a lot of the main tourist attractions.

123

It's a beautiful area, definitely a little bit touristy,

124

but it's on the European side and there's nothing wrong with it.

125

Perfectly fine place to stay.

126

Then you have like the Galata Tower area and to be honest,

127

I think that's a little bit too touristy.

128

You're going to be fighting the hills the whole time.

129

Probably not my first recommendation,

130

maybe somewhere else in Karakoy,

131

which is kind of hugs the water and you don't have to walk up as many hills.

132

So similar area, it's still going to put you in the heart of all the action.

133

and Karakoy has great nightlife.

134

Karakoy has a few areas where you're like right up along the water,

135

easy access to the ferries and other public transportation,

136

great street food, really fun place to be especially if you want to have that nightlife experience,

137

but do note that it is definitely noisy.

138

There's also a neighborhood called Chahangir?

139

Chahangir?

140

Yeah, I don't know.

141

Locals correct me.

142

Sorry if I botched that pronunciation,

143

but Chahangir was a really,

144

really cool neighborhood on the European side that felt very local it was a little bit quieter

145

didn't have any tourists it was really really nice

146

and is kind of close-ish to the Taksim Square provides easy access I'd really recommend there

147

if you have a longer stay and you want to experience

148

that local culture Taksim Square I didn't love I really wouldn't recommend anybody staying up there I get

149

that it gets a lot of publicity and people think

150

that it's the great area to stay for me in my opinion i just didn't think

151

so i thought it was pretty touristy nothing too special i'd probably avoid

152

that area as a whole but the place

153

that i wouldn't avoid is the asian side specifically katakoy

154

and more specifically a neighborhood called moda moda was just unlike anywhere else

155

that we experienced in istanbul really quiet really local feel

156

so many young people a lot of great restaurants fun energy just it's definitely the area

157

that i will be staying the next time i come back

158

and it's where i spent basically all of my time

159

so highly recommend making sure to get over to the asia side now

160

if you're wanting to learn more about what you're going to love

161

and might even hate about istanbul don't worry i got you
