City guide
Visiting Istanbul in January
January is crisp and cool with highs around 8°C and occasional dustings of snow. A wonderfully quiet time to explore imperial mosques and museums.
Istanbul spans two continents across the legendary waters of the Bosphorus Strait, uniting Europe on the west with Asia on the east. The historic capital of three successive global empires (Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman), it stands among the world's most compelling metropolises.
- From the airport
- Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side sits 40 kilometres northwest of the city. Metro Line M11 links the airport directly to the urban subway network at Gayrettepe (transfer to Line M2 for Taksim). Comfortable Havaist express coaches run frequently to hubs including Taksim and Kadikoy. Taxis generally cost between 35 and 45 euros.
- Getting around
- Public transport is clean, extensive, and picturesque: modern subways, historic street trams, funiculars, and iconic Bosphorus passenger ferries connecting continents for standard transit fare. Purchase an Istanbulkart reloadable transit card at any major station or ferry pier upon arrival.
