The best time to visit Istanbul is in the late spring, summer, and early fall.
From April through October, the weather in Istanbul is warm (in the 70’s and low 80’s F, mid teens to high 20’s C) and rain is more scarce than in the wet winter months.
Spring in Istanbul is particularly beautiful because of all of the flowers that are in bloom. Tulips are particularly striking, especially if you visit the Topkapi Palace gardens.
