Situated in the vibrant Beyoglu district, the hotel offers easy access to numerous cultural attractions, shopping venues, and dining options. The journey from Galataport cruise terminal to the hotel traverses through some of Istanbul's most historic neighborhoods, combining maritime heritage with urban culture.
The route from Galataport to As Hotel Taksim covers approximately 4.6 kilometers through the historic peninsula. The journey typically begins at the modern Galataport cruise terminal, proceeding through the historic Karaköy district, then ascending towards Taksim via either the historic funicular or the winding streets of Galata.
Public transportation from Galataport involves using the funicular system or walking uphill. While the Tünel funicular provides a connection to Istiklal Street, guests must walk with luggage to reach the hotel, which can be challenging on the crowded pedestrian street.
