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.

Thank you so much for this info. I’m here for a month and at 72 the hills are a bit much!

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. thanks a lot for all your info and hard work. your website is helping me a lot organising my trip to Istanbul.
when i use the istanbulkart, are all the trips calculated equally? i mean does it cost the same to use 1 ride in metro/tramway/bus/ ferry all over istanbul? are there exceptions?
Erlend says
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.
