Advance Planning
Three months before you go If you're travelling in spring, autumn or over Christmas,
make your hotel booking as far in advance as possible.
Two months before you go İstanbul's big-ticket festivals and concerts sell out fast. Book
your tickets online at Biletix ( www.biletex.com ).
Two weeks before you go Ask your hotel to make dinner reservations.
