In Sultanahmet Square, the majority of visitors were foreign tourists. Some tourists visiting the area protected themselves from the sun with umbrellas and hats, while others tried to cool off in the shade of trees.
Some individuals and tourists looking to escape the extreme heat spent time in Gülhane Park. In Bakırköy Square, most shops and establishments had air conditioning and fans running, and people walked in shaded areas created by the awnings of the shops.
