Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Hotel Emre Sultanahmet from Istanbul Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey involves taking the IST-20 airport bus to Yenikapi, followed by the Marmaray line and a final walk through Sultanahmet's historic streets. This route typically takes 90-120 minutes, depending on traffic and connection times. While economical, managing luggage through transfers and walking can be challenging, especially during peak hours or adverse weather.

The journey time varies between 100-140 minutes depending on the number of stops and traffic conditions. Limited luggage space and inflexible departure times can make this option less convenient for travelers with specific scheduling needs.
