How to get from Sabiha Gokcen airport to Sultanahmet or Taksim hotel in Istanbul?

If your hotel is closer to Aksaray than Taksim, get off at the Aksaray stop — less walking with luggage and a better chance of getting a seat since the bus is less crowded there.

The most convenient route to Sultanahmet: take Havabus to Aksaray, then transfer to tram T1 to the Sultanahmet stop. Most hotels are a short walk from there.

The Havabus stop in Taksim is located near Point Hotel Taksim — search 'Havabus Taksim' on Google Maps. Payment is cash only, paid directly on the bus.

To avoid transfers and uphill walks with luggage, ask your hotel in advance which bus stop or metro station is closest — this helps you choose the right Havabus route.

A no-transfer alternative: stay in Kadikoy and take Havabus directly — the bus runs end-to-end between Kadikoy and Sabiha Gokcen airport with no transfers.
