The route typically takes 20-25 minutes, following the coastal road through Karaköy and Eminönü, passing by notable landmarks such as the Istanbul Modern Art Museum and the Spice Bazaar. Traffic conditions can extend the journey time to 35-40 minutes during peak hours, particularly in the morning and evening rush periods.

There are no direct shuttle services available from Galataport to hotels. Most shuttle services focus on airport transfers, making this not a viable option for cruise port transfers.
