Holidaymakers heading to Turkey this summer urged to make this check before travelling
Turkey is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world. New advice has been issued to tourists travelling to Turkey this summer. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) updated its travel advice for holidaymakers flying to Turkey following a new ban which could cause 'serious issues' for Brits. The FCDO is the UK government department responsible for protecting and promoting British interests around the world. It often informs people about the latest travel changes, offering key advice before people make a journey abroad. Last week, the country introduced a ban on eSIMs, reportedly blocking access to numerous global eSIM platforms including Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Instabridge and more. Tourists will now need to purchase local sim cards or incur extortionate roaming fees to use their mobile data, unless they make this important change at the airport. Following the announcement, the FCDO said: "Access to some e-sim services is restricted in Turkey. Check with your provider before travelling." The country is hugely popular with tourists, boasting a number of resorts, and visited by millions from the UK. When travelling abroad, many people like to use international eSIMs, but anyone planning to do so in Turkey should be aware of a new regulation. Travel expert at Holafly Juan David Soler, has issued a warning to all British holidaymakers to act fast and make changes before they take off for their favourite Turkish resort, reports Liverpool Echo. He said: "Turkey's sudden ban on eSIMs has caught many travellers off guard, and it's vital that UK holidaymakers heading there this summer take action before they fly. "eSIMs have become the go-to option for Brits wanting affordable mobile data abroad without the hassle of physical SIMs or costly roaming. But now, travellers will no longer be able to activate a new eSIM once they arrive in Turkey. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The travel expert continued: "To avoid getting caught out, UK travellers should ensure their eSIM is fully downloaded and activated before leaving the UK. "This means setting up your digital SIM while still on UK networks, and confirming it's working properly before departure. Otherwise, you could be left without internet access the moment you land, which can be a serious issue if you rely on your phone for maps, transport, or bookings." If you choose to travel, you should research your destinations and get appropriate travel insurance. Insurance should cover your itinerary, planned activities and expenses in an emergency. To enter Turkey, your passport must have an 'expiry date' at least 150 days after the date you arrive and at least one blank page. You should check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements and renew your passport if you need to.

Map Shows Most 'Cultured' Major Cities in US
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. New Orleans in Louisiana has been ranked as the most "cultured" major city in the United States, followed by San Francisco, California and Nashville, Tennessee, according to a new study. The study by Holafly, eSIM provider, measured cultural venues and landmarks per capita across 100 of the most populated cities in the U.S. Each was assessed based on the number of museums, music venues, landmarks, art galleries and theaters per 100,000 residents, which was used to create a culture score for each city. Culture advocate Sehila Mota Casper is the executive director of Latinos in Heritage Conservation and a former senior field officer at the National Trust for Historic Preservation. She told Newsweek that, while museums and music halls play a role, the essence of culture is found in the everyday lives of residents. "Museums and galleries are part of the picture, but the core of a cultured city is its people. Culture is not built from above. It grows from neighborhoods, kitchens, churches, sidewalks, street corners, and languages spoken at home," Casper said. "Every city on this list reflects that. Diversity is not an accessory to culture. It is the foundation." The study crowned New Orleans as the most "cultured" major city in America, citing its unmatched concentration of cultural landmarks—over 38 per 100,000 people—and iconic sites such as the St. Louis Cathedral, the oldest continuously active Roman Catholic cathedral in the country. Located in the historic French Quarter, the cathedral is part of a broader cultural landscape that includes jazz institutions such as Preservation Hall, the Maple Leaf Bar, and Kermit's Treme Mother-in-Law Lounge. "In addition to the stunning historic architecture, culture-hungry travelers will also have an array of music venues to catch some live music; from jazz to reggae, there really is something for everyone," the study noted.

Getty Coming in second was San Francisco, described in the report as "a hotbed of culture," with more than 41 landmarks per 100,000 people. In addition to well-known tourist destinations like the Golden Gate Bridge, the city is home to cultural fixtures such as the historic Alcatraz Island and panoramic spots like Twin Peaks. "If getting outdoors and exploring the local areas via hiking is your thing, then the Twin Peaks is a must-see," the study said. "Standing over 900 feet above the city, Twin Peaks offers stunning views of the city's skyline, not to mention being the perfect sunset spot." Nashville, dubbed "The Music City," secured third place, owing much to its rich musical heritage. The city is home to legendary venues such as the Grand Ole Opry and the Ryman Auditorium, as well as the Johnny Cash Museum; this reportedly hosts the largest and most comprehensive collection of Johnny Cash artifacts in the world. Rounding out the top five were St. Louis, Missouri, and Honolulu, Hawaii. St. Louis scored high with a 60.54 culture rating, bolstered by its iconic Gateway Arch and thriving blues scene, including institutions like BB's Jazz, Blues & Soups. Honolulu closely followed with a culture score of 60.47, with the study highlighting Pearl Harbor and the city's blend of historical depth and natural beauty. The remaining cities in the top 10 included: Boston, Massachusetts (sixth); Arlington, Virginia (seventh); Miami, Florida (eighth); Washington, D.C. (ninth); and Richmond, Virginia (10th), each recognized for their blend of artistic, historical, and musical significance. "Culturally rich cities are shaped by migration, language, memory, and community tradition," Casper said. "The cities in this ranking reflect concentrated diversity. New Orleans, San Francisco, Miami, and Honolulu all carry histories of layered settlement—African, Indigenous, Latin American, Asian, and Caribbean. Culture has been created, protected, and reimagined in these cities across generations." The executive director further noted the deep, layered histories that shape some of the cities in the ranking. "San Francisco's murals, New Orleans' music traditions, Miami's diasporic neighborhoods, Honolulu's ancestral practice, Washington D.C.'s multiethnic enclaves—these are not recent phenomena," Casper added. "They are cultural ecosystems built through survival, exchange, and continuity."
