Istanbul’s public transport network includes trams, metros, ferries and buses, linking both the European and Asian sides. The city’s hilly terrain makes walking less practical in some areas, but taxis are readily available.
Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s main international gateway, while Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) serves the Asian side and many low-cost airlines. Both have regular bus and taxi connections to the city.
Driving in central Istanbul can be challenging, but hiring a car is useful for exploring further afield. Popular trips include the Princes’ Islands, the Black Sea coast, or the historical towns of Bursa and Edirne.
