To make your arrival smoother, please find below some practical information about how to reach the campus:
From Istanbul Airport (IST):
Taxi: A taxi ride takes around 30–40 minutes depending on traffic. The cost is approximately €30–35 (TRY equivalent).
Public Transport: You can take the M11 Metro from the airport to Kağıthane, then transfer to the M7 Metro towards Mahmutbey and get off at Alibeyköy. From there, a short taxi ride (5–10 minutes) will bring you to the campus. Or you can take the T5 Tram and get off at Üniversite stop which is located just behind the campus.
From Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW):
Taxi: Travel time is usually 60–75 minutes depending on traffic, with an approximate cost of €40–45 (TRY equivalent).
Public Transport: From the airport, you can take the Havabüs shuttle (costs about €6) to Taksim Square, then continue by taxi (20–25 minutes) to the campus. Alternatively, from Taksim you may use local buses to the campus.
In general, Google Maps provides very accurate information about public transportation routes to reach the campus, so we recommend using it when planning your journey.
Istanbulkart (Public Transport Card): If you plan to use public transport (metro, tram, bus, ferry), you will need an Istanbulkart. It is a rechargeable card that works across the city’s entire public transportation system. You can purchase it at the airport, major metro stations, and kiosks. The cost of the card itself is around 70 TRY, and you can top it up as needed at vending machines. Contactless credit/debit cards also work on some routes, but Istanbulkart is the most convenient and widely accepted option.
