In short

  • The journey takes 45 minutes off-peak and 65 minutes at peak times.

Route taken

After the North Marmara Motorway and the Hasdal-Okmeydanı link, the route climbs to Halaskargazi Avenue through Bomonti.

What happens on arrival

Most Şişli hotels have their own entrance bay, so the car pulls up at the door. Stopping on Halaskargazi Avenue itself is prohibited, so the driver uses the hotel's back street.

Public transport alternative

This is the easiest public transport run in the city: the M11 to Gayrettepe, one change to the M2 and a single stop to Şişli-Mecidiyeköy. Travelling light, the metro is genuinely a good option here; the private car earns its place with heavy luggage and at night.
