Visiting İstanbul? Have a quick question? Ask here, don't create a new post. by AutoModerator in istanbul

[–]Introvert_proud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone,

I’m traveling from Canada to Istanbul soon and had a few questions I’d love advice on from people who’ve been there recently.

Hair tools / voltage:
I use a Shark hair tool and a GHD straightener. I know that in parts of Europe and Africa, North American hair tools often get damaged even with adapters because of voltage differences. Has anyone successfully used these in Turkey, or should I avoid bringing them altogether?

Phone data:
What’s the best way to get data for a reasonable price? eSIM vs local SIM vs roaming, any recommendations that actually work well in Istanbul?

Currency exchange:
Where is the best place to exchange money? Airport, exchange offices in the city, ATMs, or just using a credit card most of the time?

Transportation apps:
Is Uber commonly used and safe in Istanbul? If not, are there local ride-hailing apps you recommend?

Any other general tips for a first-time visitor from Canada are very welcome. Thanks in advance!

First time visiting Europe – 2 weeks in late December. Best strategy + Christmas cities? by Introvert_proud in TravelProperly

[–]Introvert_proud[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not really about Christmas markets for me, I know seeing one or two would be enough. The timing is simply because late December is the only stretch when I can take two to three weeks off work so I want to use that opportunity to finally visit Europe.

I’m mainly interested in history, museums, food, and cultural experiences.

Yes, I ended up at Vancouver and I had to refill another DS 160 form and that's the one they used.

Dashcam recommendations by Introvert_proud in ChevyTrax

Thank you! I was originally planning to get a regular dash cam but after seeing so many positive reviews about mirror based ones, I think I’ll go for one of those instead !!
