Transportation Options

Public Transport

The journey from Istanbul Airport using public transportation requires multiple transfers. Take the HAVAIST bus to Sultanahmet, followed by either a walk or short tram ride. This option typically takes 90-120 minutes depending on traffic and can be challenging with luggage, especially on crowded vehicles. While economical, it may not be the most comfortable choice after a long flight.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending journey time significantly. Limited luggage space and predetermined routes mean less flexibility and comfort. Advanced booking is required, and services may not accommodate flight delays or early morning/late night arrivals.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but journey costs can vary significantly based on traffic conditions and route chosen. During peak hours, finding an available taxi can be challenging, and some drivers may be unfamiliar with the narrow streets of Sultanahmet. The journey typically takes 60-90 minutes depending on traffic conditions.
