How long does it take from Istanbul Airport to Emirgan?

The distance is about 44 km and the average time without traffic is 58 minutes. It can take longer in the evening rush, so leave some margin in your plans after landing.

Can you drop us directly at Emirgan Park or the Sabancı Museum?

Yes. Enter the park entrance or the museum as your destination; both are in the same price zone as Emirgan, so the Vito fare is still 2,300 TRY.

Does it matter if I land at Sabiha Gökçen instead?

Both airports are roughly the same distance from Emirgan (44 and 47 km). But from SAW you have to cross the Bosphorus on the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge and the Vito fare is 3,000 TRY; from IST there is no crossing and the fare is 2,300 TRY.

Emirgan – Istanbul Airport VIP Transfer

Emirgan is a neighbourhood of Sarıyer on the European shore of the Bosphorus. From Istanbul Airport (IST) the drive is about 44 km and takes around 58 minutes without traffic. Prices are fixed: 2,300 TRY in a VIP Mercedes Vito, 3,000 TRY in the 14-seat Mercedes Sprinter.

Getting to Know Emirgan

The area is best known for Emirgan Park (Emirgan Korusu), home of the Istanbul Tulip Festival every April, and for the Sakıp Sabancı Museum. We drive to the door of hotels, homes and waterfront mansions along the shore, which runs from İstinye in the north to Rumelihisarı in the south.

Route and Traffic

The airport and Emirgan are both on the European side, so there is no Bosphorus crossing and no bridge queue on this trip. The 58 minutes is an off-peak figure; in the evening rush the drive can take longer. Your fare does not depend on the time it takes.
