Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Istanbul Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the IST-82 airport bus to Bayrampaşa, followed by a metro connection to Yenikapı, and finally, a tram to Çemberlitaş station. This complex route typically takes 90-120 minutes, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage on crowded public transport can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Istanbul Airport and Sultanahmet. While more affordable than private options, these services make multiple stops at different hotels, extending journey time to 2-3 hours. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times may not suit all travelers, particularly those arriving on early morning or late night flights.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at Istanbul Airport's designated taxi stands. The journey to Sultanahmet typically takes 60-90 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Prices can vary significantly based on traffic and time of day. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to make the long journey to the old city can be challenging.
