Taksim to Sultanahmet Vito transfer
Taksim to Sultanahmet is short, 5–6 kilometres. Even so, the drive can stretch from 20 to 35 minutes because all of it is inner-city.
What is the road like?
The vehicle goes down from Tarlabaşı to the Golden Horn and crosses into the Old City over the Unkapanı or the Galata Bridge. The approaches to both bridges are slow during the day. Because some streets in Sultanahmet are closed to cars, the drop-off point depends on where your hotel is.
Good to know
To be frank: if there are two of you with no luggage, the funicular and the tram will do the job at this distance. A Vito makes sense for large families, hotel changes with a lot of luggage and passengers who find walking difficult. Some owners may apply a minimum fare for a trip this short, so ask in your request.
What does the price include?
Prices shown are one-way and per vehicle; bridge and motorway tolls and up to 60 minutes of waiting at the airport are usually included. What is included, extra stops, night rates and peak-season surcharges are agreed with the listing owner.
