Frequently asked

Planning an event in Istanbul?

What is the weather like and when is the best time to hold an event?

Spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) offer mild temperatures between 15 and 22 degrees Celsius, ideal for outdoor gala dinners and yacht events on the Bosphorus. Summer can be hot and humid, while winter is cool but rarely disruptive to travel.

What is the dress code expectation for corporate events?

Business attire is standard for conference sessions and gala dinners. If your programme includes a visit to a mosque or historic religious site such as Topkapi Palace's harem, remind attendees to carry a scarf or bring covered shoulders and knees out of respect.

Are there good dietary options for international delegates?

Istanbul's catering scene is well-equipped for diverse dietary needs. Halal options are the default across most venues. Vegetarian and vegan menus are widely available, and kosher catering can be arranged with advance notice through specialist suppliers.

What is the alcohol policy for events?

Turkey is a secular country and alcohol is legally served and widely available at hotels, licensed restaurants and event venues. Most four and five-star corporate venues can include an open bar. Planners should confirm licensing with each venue, particularly for outdoor or heritage-site events.

How do delegates get around the city between sessions and social events?

Istanbul has a reliable metro and tram network linking the airport, Sultanahmet, Taksim and the main hotel districts. Bosphorus ferries add a scenic transfer option between the European and Asian sides. For group transfers, private coach hire is cost-effective and commonly used by event organisers.
