Istanbul Transportation Map With Places of Interest

This Istanbul transportation map is geared toward tourists. To avoid confusion, it doesn’t show every single line available in Istanbul. No, instead it only shows the most the important metro, tram, and funicular lines from a tourist’s point of view.
And to make finding your way in Istanbul even easier, I put the most common places of interest on the transportation map as well. This way you know exactly what line(s) to take to reach a certain sightseeing spot or venue.

      Make use of the two funiculars as much as you can. And stay clear of taxis, use public transportation as much as you can. Have a great stay.

      Hi,

      No, the prices vary a bit. Most of them are currently 9,9 per ride, while some ferry rides are a bit cheaper, and the Marmaray may be a bit more expensive, depending on the length of your ride.

      Hi, I must update that map, it’s the Atatürk Airport, which is no longer in use for commercial flights.
