Visitor Tips

Choose your final station by exit and transfer, not only by travel time. For tourist areas, Sirkeci, Yenikapi and Uskudar are usually more useful than nearby but less connected stations.

Times and fares are estimates from the site dataset. Service changes, maintenance, short-line operation and official fare updates should be verified from TCDD Marmaray and IBB TUHIM before travel.
