Several major car-rental companies have desks at Istanbul Ataturk Airport (IST). There are metro, bus and taxi services to the city. There is an express bus service called Havas, which departs every 30 minutes. If you have lots of luggage, take the metro to Aksaray and a taxi from there as it can be tricky negotiating a busy tram otherwise. Walking is the best way to see this beautiful city. Another wonderful way of getting around is to take a ferry or catamaran along the Golden Horn or up the Bosphorus. It’s cheap to travel by public transport. The fast-growing metro system (underground and trains) saves you from the traffic jams, but travelling by tram will give you a great view of Istanbul. There is a comprehensive bus system, however traffic congestion makes it a slow way of getting around. The Akbil electronic transit pass is valid on buses, trams, light rail, funiculars and ferry boats. Dolmuses (shared minibus taxis) are more comfortable than the metropolitan buses and cheaper than taxis. They can be hailed along their route or at a stand. When you board, tell the driver where you are going and find out the cost. For a private yellow taxi, have a hotel call one for you and ensure that the meter is running before you set off.

Boarding was nice the employees and the crew. They were very nice but the food maybe I don’t like it but it’s not international food. It’s more towards Chinese Tayst, which I do understand but that’s only complain. I have.

FAQs about flying to Istanbul

Istanbul insider information

Turkish coffee, the so-strong-you-can-stand-up-your-spoon-in-it blend may be better known, but Turks drink tea during the day. You’ll more than likely be offered a cup if you’re shopping in a bazaar. It’s not rude to refuse a cup, but be upfront with your host if you’re not going to buy. Apple tea, elma cai, is particularly popular with visitors.
If you need a break from the hubbub of Istanbul, take to the water. A ferry ride along the Bosphorus River is a really wonderful way of seeing the city.
Bagdat Caddesi is one of the most upmarket streets in Istanbul. It’s on the Asian side of the city. From the European side, take a ferry to Kadikoy and continue on a dolmus.
Galata Tower is a huge stone circular landmark that offers fantastic views of the city. In times past, it was the lookout of Galata, the Genoese town.
If you want to buy the traditional kilim (carpet), without the Grand Bazaar experience – visit the small towns in the countryside where the carpets are made.

What is the best way to travel around Istanbul?
Several major car-rental companies have desks at Istanbul Ataturk Airport (IST). There are metro, bus and taxi services to the city. There is an express bus service called Havas, which departs every 30 minutes. If you have lots of luggage, take the metro to Aksaray and a taxi from there as it can be tricky negotiating a busy tram otherwise. Walking is the best way to see this beautiful city. Another wonderful way of getting around is to take a ferry or catamaran along the Golden Horn or up the Bosphorus. It’s cheap to travel by public transport. The fast-growing metro system (underground and trains) saves you from the traffic jams, but travelling by tram will give you a great view of Istanbul. There is a comprehensive bus system, however traffic congestion makes it a slow way of getting around. The Akbil electronic transit pass is valid on buses, trams, light rail, funiculars and ferry boats. Dolmuses (shared minibus taxis) are more comfortable than the metropolitan buses and cheaper than taxis. They can be hailed along their route or at a stand. When you board, tell the driver where you are going and find out the cost. For a private yellow taxi, have a hotel call one for you and ensure that the meter is running before you set off.
Can I find cheaper flights to Istanbul if I am willing to have stopovers?
Yes, flights with stopovers are often cheaper than direct flights. Keep an eye out for flight deals to Istanbul on Cheapflights that require 1 or 2 stops for potential cost savings.
