Calculate your price
In short
The distance from Istanbul Airport to Üsküdar is 68 kilometres.
The journey takes 65 minutes off-peak and 100 minutes at peak times.
A private transfer from Istanbul Airport to Üsküdar costs €65, with bridge, tunnel and motorway tolls included.
The price is locked at booking; no extra charge appears later because of traffic or the route taken.
The route crosses to Asia on the North Marmara Motorway and the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, then descends to Üsküdar past Çamlıca. The Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge looks shorter, but in the evening peak its queue reaches half an hour.
Üsküdar square is an interchange where ferry, Marmaray and metro lines meet, and it is busy all day. Drop-off happens a street back rather than on the square itself; stopping on the shore road is prohibited.
Public transport needs three lines and two changes: the M11, the M2 and the Marmaray, taking roughly two hours. The Marmaray station at Üsküdar is deep and the walk with luggage is long.

This journey does not cross the city but the north of it. It begins where the built-up area ends, runs through forest and four-hundred-year-old aqueducts, then changes continent on a bridge. Because it never enters the traffic, it is also the most predictable route.
Stopping is prohibited along the Üsküdar waterfront, so drop-off is a street back from the square. If your hotel is on the European side, getting out at Üsküdar and taking the ferry can be faster in the evening peak than crossing by bridge — and the driver will tell you so.

Stopping is prohibited on Taksim Square itself. Drop-off happens on the side streets within walking distance, or in the hotel's own entrance bay; the driver identifies the right point in advance from the hotel address.
