Is Istanbul a safe city to visit?

Everything depends on your behavior. If you are reckless and careless every city is dangerous for you, no matter whether it is Istanbul or London.

Istanbul is fine, I've been there twice and nothing bad happened.

Just like anywhere, if you go looking for trouble you'll surely find it, but if you behave sensibly and take some basic precautions (like not flashing large amounts of cash in public) you'll be fine. Istanbul is just as safe as any major city, and probably safer than most.

Every big city could be dangerous, you have to use the common-sense in order to do a travel in a safe way.

Yes

most of the city is absoutely safe u don't have to worry about it but ofcourse u need to be careful where u're going because some places a bit dangerous in here.

I thing its a safe place to visit and enjoy.

Yes, it's perfectly safe as long as you exercise commonsense.

Yes, there are pick pocketers but there in all busy cities.

I really hope so.You must chat with a Turk from there beforehand to be sure of this.

No like on any middle eastern country you must take precautions.
