TAXI
In Istanbul taxis are yellow and are very easy to obtain either by stopping those on streets or by requesting
one through the hotel/congress centre concierges. The meter in the car applies and charges are in TRY, please note credit cards are not yet valid in all taxis.
Public Transport
Istanbul Public Transportation is efficient, convenient and safe but it may be very difficult to navigate if you do not know the language. Thus we suggest the use of taxis as they are very economically priced compared to most European cities.
