How long does a taxi take from Istanbul Airport to Sultanahmet?
Allow 50 to 70 minutes. Sultanahmet is on the European side like the airport, so there is no Bosphorus crossing, but the last stretch into the historic peninsula is often the slowest. Your fare stays the same however long the ride takes.
Can the taxi stop at my hotel in the Old City?
Many Old City hotels sit on narrow lanes, and some streets around Hagia Sophia and the tram line are restricted for cars. Your driver knows the approach and stops as close as the road allows, then helps with your bags. Give us the hotel name when you book, and we will tell you where the car will stop.
