Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Istanbul Airport involves taking the IST-20 airport bus to Yenikapi, followed by a metro or tram connection to Sultanahmet. This journey typically takes 90-120 minutes, depending on traffic and connection times. While economical, managing luggage through multiple transfers can be challenging, especially during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops throughout the historic peninsula. The journey can take up to 3 hours due to various pickup points and traffic conditions. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times may not suit all travelers' needs, particularly those arriving on early morning or late night flights.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but journey times and costs can vary significantly based on traffic conditions and time of day. The 50.5 km route typically takes 60-90 minutes. During peak hours or adverse weather, finding an available taxi can be challenging, and vehicle quality may vary considerably.
