The tourist areas like Sultanahmet, Taksim, and Kadıköy are well-patrolled and safe, even at night. However, pickpocketing can be an issue in crowded areas like the Grand Bazaar or Istiklal Street. Before my trip, I read an article on https://istanbulpoints.com/ about safety tips for travelers. It covered everything from common scams to which neighborhoods are the safest. It was a great resource, and I felt much more prepared and confident while exploring the city.
