Are there any current travel warnings for Americans traveling to Turkey?
US Citizens can check the United States Department of States travel warnings list for any warnings that may from time to time be issued: [LINK: http://travel.state.gov/travel_warnings.html#e] Please note that Americans are welcome in Turkey and that problems such as theft and robbery are rare, but as in any country, it can happen. Standard safety guidelines for any international traveler (such as not counting your money on the street, leaving your wallet on a table or hanging out if your pocket, etc. are normal precautions for anyone traveling abroad). Women traveling by themselves will be pleased to find that walking on the street at night and touring Turkey is safe.
