Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Merkez?
The best time to go to Merkez, Istanbul, is during the spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) months.

During these periods, the weather is pleasantly mild, with fewer crowds than in the peak summer months. This makes it ideal for exploring Merkez's central attractions, such as Taksim Square and Istiklal Avenue, without the intense heat or the shoulder-to-shoulder foot traffic. You'll find it more comfortable to stroll through the Grand Bazaar or visit the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque.

Travellers seeking a more relaxed pace and comfortable touring conditions will particularly appreciate these seasons.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right Merkez hotel for you.
