Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Istanbul Airport involves taking the IST-20 airport bus to Sultanahmet, followed by a walk to the hotel. The journey typically takes 90-120 minutes depending on traffic and can be challenging with luggage due to the historic district's cobblestone streets and slopes. Service frequency varies throughout the day, and crowds during peak hours can make traveling with baggage particularly difficult.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Istanbul Airport and Sultanahmet. These require advance booking and make multiple stops, extending journey time to around 2-3 hours. Limited luggage space and inflexible departure times can be inconvenient, especially for early or late flights. The shuttle drop-off point may still require walking to reach Avicenna Hotel.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at Istanbul Airport, but journey times can vary significantly from 45-90 minutes depending on traffic conditions. Prices fluctuate based on traffic and time of day, and some drivers may be unfamiliar with the specific location of Avicenna Hotel in Sultanahmet's narrow streets.
