Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transportation is available from Istanbul Airport to Sultanahmet, it involves multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVAIST airport shuttle to Yenikapi, followed by either a metro or tram connection. This option typically takes 90-120 minutes, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through transfers can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Istanbul Airport and Sultanahmet. While economical, these services involve multiple hotel stops, extending journey time to approximately 2-3 hours. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times may not suit all travelers, particularly those arriving on early morning or late evening flights.

Taxi

Standard taxis are readily available at Istanbul Airport, but journey times and costs can vary significantly based on traffic conditions. The 50.6 km route typically takes 60-90 minutes, though this can extend during peak hours. Drivers may not always be familiar with specific hotel locations in the historic district's narrow streets.
