Travel Tips
- Book early; October is a busy period.
- An İstanbulkart covers metro, tram, bus and ferry.
- Traffic can be heavy; allow ample time before sessions.
- Use official taxi ranks or licensed apps.
- October weather is mild but changeable; a light raincoat helps.
- Check visa and entry requirements with official sources before travelling.
Choose your base by the venue
Walking distance to a metro line matters more than the district for catching morning sessions. Transfer times are listed on the Venue page.
