Istanbul Airport (IST) to Taksim Vito transfer

With clear roads, the drive from Istanbul Airport to Taksim takes about 45 minutes in a Vito. It is the route arriving passengers ask about most.

What is the road like?

Drivers usually come into the city through Göktürk and Hasdal, then climb to Taksim from the Okmeydanı side. Most of the way is motorway, so the time is really lost in the last few kilometres inside the city. For flights landing between 17:00 and 20:00 on weekdays, allow more than an hour.

If your hotel is in that area, the driver drops you at the nearest point a car can reach and the rest is usually a walk of a few minutes. Put the hotel name and street in your request and the owner will tell you up front where the drop-off will be.
