Are All The Articles Up-to-date?

At the top of the article you’ll find the date the article was last updated. However, it doesn’t mean that if an article hasn’t been updated for a while, that the information has lost its relevance. Some information is just evergreen while other information needs more frequent updates.

How Can I Ask You Some Questions About Istanbul Related Topics or Articles?

I personally answered over 4500 questions in the previous comments sections, but I delete these on a regular basis and only keep the ones that are still relevant for you. If you still have questions after reading and searching through the articles and comments here, then feel free to leave a comment of your own. Keep in mind that I do NOT answer questions asked via the contact form or email.

How much is the toll for crossing the Bosphorus bridges or use the Eurasia tunnel?

The one-way car toll to cross the Bosphorus bridges is currently 8,25 TL, one-way. For the Eurasia tunnel, the car toll is 53 TL between 05:00 and 24:00, and 26,5 TL outside these hours.
Keep in mind that a taxi driver has the right to add these fees to the cab fare, but only one way. He cannot charge you for his return route (as he will probably pick up other customers for that).
