Join us in this video as we go over how to get from the Istanbul Airport to the city center. This is something all visitors have to figure out when they arrive here in Istanbul so we're going to do our best to prepare you for your arrival! But instead of just telling you about the options, we have a little bit of a competition. One of us takes the luxury route in a private car, while the other takes the budget route using the metro.

How hard is it to navigate the metro from the airport? Is it worth the extra $$ to book a private transfer? Let's find out!

Here are the other options we discussed throughout the video...

The Havaist Airport Shuttle buses operate on a regular fixed route to around 40 destinations in the city. For more information on the routes, timetables, and pricing, you can visit their website:

The IETT Municipal Public Buses operate on regular fixed routes departing to many destinations in the city. For more information and timetables, you can visit their website:

And finally, if you are interested, here is the rooftop bar we visited at the end of the video:
