Istanbul weather in April

I flew here specifically to do some shopping, for a sensational week of shopping. It takes place here every year in April. I collected a lot of things for myself, for friends, and even some things to sell. The weather is perfect for walking around the city and shopping. If you think about it, you can get to the tulip festival at the same time. Just at this time everything is starting to bloom, the beauty is indescribable! The degrees are approximately +15-17, a lot of sun. If there was any rain, it was rare and very light. A light jacket is enough for walking. And even then, I wore it in the evening, mostly.

Istanbul in April is clearly not part of the tourist wave; the weather is slushy and cold during the day, only +11-16 degrees. Only a few days were sunny, mostly cloudy with clearings. It also rained on us. At night +11-15 degrees, you need to take warm clothes and a light jacket with you. True, the undeniable charm of spring is the blooming of tulips, so it’s definitely worth visiting Gulhan and Emirgan parks. A boat trip along the Bosphorus also pleasantly pleases with its landscapes.
