[quote=Anonymous]Depends on your destination.  I flew through Istanbul via TA many times, but I had a family member living in Istanbul at the time so I would stay with them/meet them for a meal or a walk.

Depends on how long layover is, etc.  I always like walking around outside.  Also did this when I had an overnight other cities including Vienna, I would take the train into the city stayed at the Hilton by the train, walked around at night/grabbed food and took my flight back to the States the next day. BUT if I can get a direct flight I always take it.

I have not been to Istanbul in 10 years.  My family member left right before the 2016 coup attempt, but had lived there for many years.  All the expats (and many well-off Turks) they knew left after that and moved elsewhere.

Last time I flew through and saw family member as we were walking to their home there were protests and tear gas was used/it was awful.  I would read up on what is going on there before you visit and decide if you're comfortable.

My family member went back to Istanbul a few years ago and said it wasn't the same and has no desire to go back.[/quote]
