Practical Life Tips

SIM Cards & Connectivity

You can easily buy a tourist SIM card from major providers (Turkcell, Vodafone, Turk Telekom) at the airport or city centers. Passport registration is required.

Transportation Cards

In Istanbul, the 'Istanbulkart' is essential for all public transport. In Izmir, get the 'Izmirim Kart'. You can buy and top them up at metro stations.

Currency & Payments

Credit cards are widely accepted. However, it's good to carry some Turkish Lira (TRY) for taxis, small shops, or bazaars. ATMs are everywhere.

Tipping Etiquette

Tipping is customary but voluntary. 5-10% in restaurants is standard. For taxis, rounding up the fare is common practice.
