NeGid recommends
Build the day around one district: İstanbul Modern and Karaköy in the daytime, then a concert or talk in the evening. This cuts travel time and leaves room for rain.
Your day, put together
Changeable weather; check transport before leaving; İstanbul Modern is today’s museum anchor; music and a city talk lead the evening programme.
