Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transport connects Istanbul Airport to Taksim via the M11 metro line and Marmaray, the journey involves multiple transfers and can be challenging with luggage. The total travel time typically exceeds 80 minutes, depending on waiting times and connections. During peak hours, the crowded conditions can make traveling with baggage particularly difficult.

Airport Shuttle

The Havaist shuttle service operates between Istanbul Airport and Taksim Square. While more economical, these services run on fixed schedules with multiple stops, extending journey times to around 90 minutes or more. Passengers must then arrange additional transportation from Taksim Square to Metropolitan Hotels Taksim, particularly challenging with luggage.

Taxi Service

Standard taxis are available at Istanbul Airport, but journey times can vary significantly from 45 to 90 minutes depending on traffic conditions. Prices fluctuate based on traffic and time of day, and communication can be challenging for international travelers. Vehicle comfort and conditions vary considerably between taxis.
