Your Experience
Exploring Istanbul made easier with public transport
Your physical card covers unlimited rides on Istanbul’s metro, trams, buses, Metrobuses, and ferries. These services connect major visitor areas, including Sultanahmet, Taksim, Karaköy, Kadıköy, and the Bosphorus waterfront. Minibuses are not included and require cash payment. The card is for one traveller only, so each person aged 6 and above needs their own card. It is delivered to your Istanbul hotel, so you have your transport ready before starting your sightseeing.
