In autumn 2025 Istanbul is experiencing an unprecedented tourism boom, with very high hotel occupancy and bookings continuing into October and November.
This marks a striking shift from the traditional summer peak, as European, American and Asian travellers increasingly prefer to visit in autumn. With the tourist season no longer limited to summer, the city’s rich history, culture and modern attractions draw visitors from around the world. Sustained growth in demand shows Istanbul’s rising popularity as a year-round destination offering a blend of relaxation, culture and luxury travel.
