Istanbul: frequently asked questions
How many days do you need in Istanbul?
Our Istanbul route is built for 3 days and covers 9 stops, from arrival to the last drink of the last evening. It is a starting point rather than a rule — the app tightens it if you have fewer days and stretches it if you have more.
Is there a ready-made Istanbul itinerary?
Yes — “Three Days in Istanbul” is a day-by-day Istanbul route from the SMOVECITY editors. You can read every stop on the web, then open it in the app and change anything you like.
Where should I eat in Istanbul?
Our Istanbul guide lists 3 restaurants and bars, each with its own page. SMOVECITY does not rank or review them — the listings are there so you can find the place, and its own site.
How do I get around Istanbul?
Istanbul has shared bikes and e-bikes, ride-hail and e-scooters. SMOVECITY shows them together on one live map, so you can compare and pick the fastest or cheapest option for each leg without switching between apps.
Is SMOVECITY free to use?
Yes — the app is free to download and free for planning and routing. SMOVECITY earns a commission only when you book through its partners, at the same price as booking direct.
