I visited Istanbul for 3 days and it was amazing! But if you can only squeeze in a 24 hour layover, do it! You’ll still be able to hit the main tourist attractions. We paid for a private tour guide and he gave us a historical tour, and it was great! There are many group tours available as well.
What are your Istanbul tips! I’ll add them to this guide!
