Hampton by Hilton Istanbul Zeytinburnu

Weather

The best time to visit Istanbul is April-June, September or October. Temperatures are relatively comfortable then, with average highs of 60-77 F/16-25 C and relatively little rain. Winters rarely get cold enough for much snow, but plenty of rain falls (about 11-13 in/28-33 cm November-January) and the damp air can feel chilly. Summers are hot and humid but not unbearable if you're near the water, though traffic pollution can make July and August unpleasant if you're inland. A sweater or rain jacket is useful year-round.
