Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation requires taking the HAVAIST airport bus to Sultanahmet, followed by a local bus or tram connection. This journey typically takes 90-120 minutes and involves managing luggage through multiple transfers. While economical, it can be challenging for travelers with heavy bags or those arriving during off-peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules to the Fatih area. These require advance booking and may include multiple stops, extending journey time to 100-130 minutes. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times can make this option less convenient for many travelers.

Taxi

Regular taxis are available at the airport terminal. However, journey costs can vary significantly based on traffic and route selection. During peak hours, finding available taxis can be challenging, and communication might be difficult for international visitors.
