Why Istanbul
Istanbul is ideal for UK travellers from Manchester who want history, shopping, food, sightseeing and a memorable city break
One of Istanbul's most famous landmarks — a must-see for first-time visitors from Manchester flying to Istanbul for city breaks or family trips.
Known for its beautiful architecture and peaceful atmosphere — the Blue Mosque is close to many of Istanbul's historic attractions and popular with families and couples.
A popular place for shopping, gifts, jewellery, textiles, spices and traditional Turkish items — one of the world's oldest and largest covered markets.
A great way to see Istanbul from the water and enjoy views of both the European and Asian sides of the city — ideal for couples and families visiting from Manchester.
A historic palace that gives visitors a deeper look into Ottoman history and Istanbul's cultural importance — a cultural highlight for all visitors.
Great for shopping, restaurants, cafés, nightlife and city-centre hotels. İstiklal Street is one of Istanbul's most lively and visited pedestrian areas.
Located on the Asian side of Istanbul, Kadıköy is known for food, local markets, cafés and a more relaxed city atmosphere — a great side-trip from central Istanbul.
Istanbul is also a strong gateway for travellers combining a city break with Antalya, Dalaman, Izmir, Bodrum, Ankara, Kayseri or Trabzon.
Major Airports
Istanbul is served by two main international airports — choose the right one for your hotel, airline, fare, baggage, and onward travel plans
Istanbul Airport is a major international airport on the European side of the city. It is commonly used for international flights from Manchester and other UK airports, business travel, family visits, and onward connections across Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Most major full-service airlines including Turkish Airlines and British Airways fly into Istanbul Airport.
Sabiha Gökçen Airport is located on the Asian side of Istanbul and is widely used by low-cost and regional airline services. Pegasus Airlines commonly operates routes there from Manchester. Always check your arrival airport carefully because transfer times to your hotel or meeting point can vary significantly between the two airports.
Choose the airport based on your airline, hotel location, fare, baggage requirements and arrival time. Istanbul Airport is generally more convenient for hotels in the European side (Sultanahmet, Beyoğlu, Taksim), while Sabiha Gökçen is closer to the Asian side and Kadıköy. SkyVoyage can help you compare both Istanbul airports and suitable airlines before booking from Manchester.
Before You Fly
Before booking Manchester to Istanbul flights, UK travellers should check passport validity, entry requirements, baggage rules and travel advice
British citizen passport holders can usually visit Turkey for tourism or business for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa, but requirements can change. Always check the latest GOV.UK Turkey travel advice before travelling.
Your best airport depends on your airline, fare, hotel area, baggage and onward travel plans. Istanbul Airport suits European-side stays while Sabiha Gökçen suits the Asian side. SkyVoyage can help you compare both options from Manchester.
Spring, summer, school holidays, Easter, Christmas and wedding seasons are popular times to travel from Manchester to Turkey. Booking early can help improve fare choice and seat availability.
Baggage rules depend on the airline and fare type. Some low-cost fares may include only a small cabin bag, while checked baggage may cost extra. SkyVoyage can help compare baggage-inclusive fares.
The local currency is the Turkish lira. Many hotels, restaurants and shops accept cards, but it is useful to carry some local currency. Istanbul has metro, tram, ferry, bus and taxi options — the Istanbul card is useful for public transport.
Istanbul is a large city, so check whether your flight arrives into Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gökçen Airport before arranging transfers or hotels. Transfer times can vary significantly — pre-book where possible.
