Transportation Options

Public Transport

The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers using the HAVABÜS airport shuttle to Taksim, followed by tram connections through the city. This complex route typically takes 2-2.5 hours, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through various transport changes can be challenging, especially during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops along the route. The journey can extend beyond 3 hours due to numerous pickup points and the unpredictable traffic on the Asian-European crossing. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for travelers seeking comfort and flexibility.

Taxi

Standard taxis from Sabiha Gokcen Airport to Sultanahmet face significant challenges with traffic, especially during peak hours. The 48-kilometer journey can result in variable fares depending on traffic conditions and route choices. Finding a taxi with adequate space for luggage and ensuring the driver knows the exact hotel location can be problematic.
