100% SURE THIS RUclips CHANNEL IS THE BEST ONE OF ISTANBUL!! I WISH ANY COUNTRY OR FAMOUS CITY COULD HAVE AN RUclipsR LIKE YOU BERY! THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thank you so much for your nice words! They mean so much to me ❤️🥹
I’m in Istanbul now and honestly it seems like a pretty subpar system.
Not being able to use credit/debit card to top up the Istanbulkart, that it expires after 500 lira and that only Turkish nationals & permanent residents are able to use the app seems like a completely missed and obvious opportunity as well as not making things as seamless for tourists as it should be.
Having that said this is a good video explaining this shambles of a system.
I need to buy other Istanbulkart after 500 lira top-up?
@@cristeaadrian9682 Unfortunately YES.
@@cristeaadrian9682yup
The city officials are probably in league with the scammers.
Bery need to give you a big thanks! I just got back from an amazing trip to Istanbul. I used Tips from many of your videos for food, sites and getting around. I'm glad you give this tutorial because the transit card is a must. A note in addition to your comment about people reselling cards by the vending machines. I was also wary of these kinds of questionable people, but the machines by the T1 tram have high school student volunteers to help you use the machine and select what card you want. They wear t shirt or vests to note they are volunteers and only help you use the machine don't directly sell you anything. We saw them around many tourist sites in the old city, but also by the tram. They were very helpful and a pleasure to talk to them when looking for a little help
I think I saw them too. Are they the ones wearing blue T-shirts?
Thanks for the updates. I'm planning a trip next year on April. This video is much appreciated. I'm also using most of your videos as guidance to make my itinerary.
Thank you!! Your videos have helped me to be ready for my arrival next week!!
I am going to istanbul after 3 days, your video is very helpful. thank a lot from the bottom of my heart
Thank you for all the tips!!! ❤
Thanks so much for the video! I'm going on holiday to Istanbul in 2 weeks and by far this is the most thorough and in-depth explanation of how the Istanbulkart system works. All the info that I've been looking for regarding the Istanbulkart are neatly summarized in this video.
I have a bunch of family and friends visiting istanbul over the next few months and asked me to write up a small guide for them - I will ask them to watch your video concerning the Istanbulkart. Thank you for the timely upload, makes my work alot easier!
Probably the most helpful person on all of RUclips. Love your videos, thank you!
Glad you think so! ❤️❤️❤️
Greetings from Cape Town. Many thanx for the update. Hope to visit Turkey soon.
Thanks Bery 👏👏👏
We are looking to go in October … a family of 14 so this info is a blessing
Thank you for the detailed description / comparison.
Bery thanks for your help. I was staying in Bekitas and the machines by the ferry pier is where I bought the card. The card was great for going from the European to Asian side. Your tips are amazing.
Thank you so very much Berry❤. This was a much needed video. Many rhanks

Thanks a bunch….. will travel to istanbul on november … your video helps a lot
Very expressive video so thanks to you 😊
many thanks, dear
Have fun!
Thank you very much. Such clear explanations.
I would recommend ignoring anyone by the transit card machine giving advice. From my experience, one volunteer by the Hagia Sofia said get the Istanbulkart instead of the 10 pass card as it was a better deal. I showed him my Istanbulkart. He then said the same thing to the guy next to me and the customer bought the Istanbulkart from the machine. The volunteer then repeatedly harassed that customer that he should get at least 1 Euro for his advice. My advice is don't talk to anyone standing next to the machine. You might think of getting advice from the Polis if an officer is there, but most of them say they don't speak English anyway so it's futile.
Hi! Sorry for the scammers. But Turkish people love to help, feel free to ask anyone... If someone ask for a tip, just ignore them ❤ As an Istanbuler, i have helped a lot of tourists in many way never heard of tipping 😂
I been to many countries that harrass scammers. Istanbul was the least i ever been attempted to be scammed. They are not pushy or demanding. If you dont want something say no once they dont bother you. Giving someone 1 euro isnt a scam. He helped you out because even i got confused using the screen to buy a card
@@M-AYhello, im planning to visit turkey on new years can you give me your email so i can have some support and suggestions by you, thank you.
@@M-AYhey I want to visit turkey can you please guide me ?
How would you know that the limit of one Istanbul card sold to tourists is 500 TL, and you would waste your time without knowing whats wrong and how come you cant top it up. I had to buy 2 in 10 days because of this new rip off.
I lost my old Istanbulkart bought 8 years ago.
Bery. Thank you very much. Very useful information.
Merhaba Bery! Thank you so much for your tips regarding the new changes with the Istanbul card. I am currently on a long break in Turkiye solo travelling. I'm in Istanbul atm, been here 9 days. Will be travelling on to Bursa after this, Bilecik after then and then Konya. May have a short relaxing stay in Antalya too. I would like to thank u for your efforts in making your videos. They're brilliant, precise clear information that you can easily follow. Your a true gem bless you. I've not had to catch a single taxi so far, and I intend not to! Staying in Fatih area neard Kadriga Park but I've been all over, catching all kinds of transport thanks to you. Visited Eyup Sultan and had the famous Guveç, went to Ortakoy and saw the beautiful mosque there and of course I couldnt resist a Kumpir! I've been using the ferries to go Kadikoy and Uskudar. Saw the stunning Çamlica mosque which was an awesome experience! Sorry for the long message, I've never messaged before to thank you yet I've watched so many of your helpful videos. Only felt right to message you knowing I'm in this same magical city! Stay blessed Bery and keep doing your thing!
Appreciate the update.
Thank you so much Bery❤
You are so welcome!
Your videos are super helpful. All the information you provide has really helped me with planning our trip to Turkey.
Happy to help!🙏
Thanks Bery, a very usefulness tips
In Kabatas Tram station you can find this City istanbul card. But we did not took it. Only Istanbulkard is top. We bought 2 of them, because we used them 11 days every day for different local transportation last month. It is not complicated, it is just simple. 🔝🇹🇷
Thank you, clear explained
Thank You for your good Job - Important Note: Always Check, that topped Amount is also on your Card, before leaving that Maschine...
Thanks berry for the tips

Hi Bery,
Thank you so much for the valuables info, I've just a question: Is it possible to use the city card in the Havaist Bus - Sabiha Gokcen Havaist Shuttles ?
Very informative video. Thank you
Outstanding video❤❤. Must watch
Thank you ❤
well described. trying to get more info for my travel to Istanbul. Hafiz from Canada
Hola! Gracias por la info, yo tengo una Istanbulkart que compré en diciembre del año pasado, esa ya no me funcionará entonces? Voy a estar en Estambul el proximo mes.
Bery. LOT OF Respect & well wishes for you for this particular highly informative video. keep doing the Best like this one. Million Regards
So nice of you!🥰
Super! Thank you so much!
i watched this as a Turkish person who will visit Turkey - istanbul :D thanks, was helpful
Happy to hear that! 🎉🎉
Thank you so much for the update
You’re welcome, Ana! Now you know these new rules for your upcoming trip 🎉🎉
This was a lifesaver information thank you! We are traveling tomorrow from central europe. Quite nervous...😅
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy your trip 🇹🇷✈️
Hi there. Loved the video, thanks, Just wondering how you use the Istanbulkart for a family of 4? Do you tap it 4 times on the tram/ferry/bus etc?
You are right Berry! The new card is too expensive. I would never use public transport that much. Its much better to just top the old istanbul card...
Your videos are the best. Will be visiting Istanbul in September Inshallah
Have fun!
Thank uuuuu 😊
Your summary is so good.
We will travel perhaps 6 times a day, max. Son will stay in hotel room for perhaps half of those, so 3 trips x1 person, 3x2 for Thanya and me. We will be there a week.
Thank you for ur information
Any time!
Thankyou very much
Thank you very much for your video
Glad it was helpful!
Hello Bery Thanks for the video and updates Related to Istanbul Card I visited Istanbul in 2021 I still have the Istanbul card from that visit If I used it currently is it still working or has it been cancelled ?
Thank you
Hello! Great video! I have a layover in Turkey for 2 days. I'll be visiting with my wife on our way back from the UK. What card do you advise me to buy for these two days for myself and my wife. I do have an old Istanbul Card from 2019, not sure if that would still be functional.
Thank for your videos. I have plan to visit turkey in Jan 2024.
Hi , thanks for your videos. Plz let me know is any esim available in isatnbul airport like turkcell , vodafone or any other to use my iphone 14 max
Very informative 😊
Does Red IstanbularKard have an expiration date to be used?
Thanks again
you are the best among the best thanku
When you scan the card is there typically a screen at the metro, tram, etc… that reads the remaining balance?
Bery thanks a lot for all these precise and helpful information. I have just a couple of questions. I wanna ask if it's possible to buy the Istanbul City Card also at the airport (SAW) and what is the price now (21 september 2023), if it changed respect to the video. Thanks for the help guys!
Hola Berit. Conviene comprar como local las tarjetas? Por precios y beneficios? puedo usar una sola para 2 personas? Ya q estaremos un mes en Turquia
Wow, Bery, your Channel is the best guide for planning an Istanbul trip. I learned almost every detail of the Istanbulkart in your 15-minute video. Need help understanding one thing on Unlimited Pass, as the machine you were using malfunctioned. Does it also take only the banknotes, or does it have upper limits like the other one? It shows TYR 800 for a five-day unlimited on screen, but does it remain the same or increase? Please keep sharing your knowledge and enrich enthusiastic travellers like us.
