Basilica Cistern is another excellent option and is also in the area. What\u2019s more, a little bit further (but in a walking distance), you will find Grand Bazaar (keep in mind that the prices might be rather high as it is a very famous touristic attraction) while on the opposite direction, you can reach the Spice Market (where you should find more affordable prices) as well as the impressive Topkapi Palace.<\/span><br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/istanbul-international-airport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Istanbul-Blue-Mosque-Courtyard-Dusk600.jpg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Image &#8211; Sultanahmet&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Taksim Square &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Taksim Meydan\u0131<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00d6te yandan Taksim, \u0130stanbul&#8217;un modern \u015fehir merkezi olmakla birlikte turistler i\u00e7in olduk\u00e7a pop\u00fcler bir destinasyondur.

Layovers can certainly be tiring and nerve-racking, especially after a long flight or before a long-lasting onward journey. However, there are ways to make your layover more than just a waste of your time. In fact, as Istanbul is a common stopover for flights from the Middle East to Europe, it is very probable to find yourself waiting at the brand-new airport. So, how can you make the most of your downtime?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To begin with, you must define your exact spare time. Your options should differ depending on whether you have a quick passing-through the airport, a few-hours layover or even a sleep-over at Istanbul Airport. Therefore, you should keep in mind that the new airport is located in Arnavutkoy Area, almost 50km away from the city center. Moreover, you will probably need 1-1.5 hours to pass through all the airport controls while the walking distances inside the enormous Istanbul Airport Terminal are considerable. Finally, under normal traffic conditions (note though that Istanbul traffic is usually heavy), you will need 50-100 minutes to reach the city center by taxi and bus accordingly. The new subway line M11 which is expected to be launched by end-2020 will shorten travelling-time.<\/span><\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=\"Image - Istanbul Interior\" src=\"https:\/\/istanbul-international-airport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/istanbul-airport-interior.jpg\" show_in_lightbox=\"off\" url_new_window=\"off\" use_overlay=\"off\" animation=\"off\" sticky=\"off\" align=\"center\" force_fullwidth=\"on\" always_center_on_mobile=\"on\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Things to Do at Istanbul Airport\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Things to Do at Istanbul Airport<\/strong><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have an up to 10-hour connection time between flights, it is advisable to stay at the airport and not risk losing your next flight.

No worries about carrying your luggage around. You will find designated storage areas in Istanbul Airport. Moreover, if you originate from a visa required country, it is advisable to apply for your visa online before your trip to avoid the waiting time at the airport. Enter the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evisa.gov.tr\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a><\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and learn everything you might want to know about your visa application.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Istanbul has so many things to see and do that you will have an extremely hard time to choose among them. Therefore, the best option for your layover is to decide which of the two most popular areas of the city you want to visit, Sultanahmet or Taksim?<\/span><\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Sultanahmet\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]<\/p><h3 id=\"beijing-park\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sultanahmet <\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to experience the original, oriental and historical character of the city, Sultanahmet is your destination. Even so, you will face difficulties in selecting which attractions to visit. Hagia Sophia Museum and Blue Mosque are extremely close to each other, so you can admire the exterior of the amazing monuments and perhaps visit one of them. Basilica Cistern is another excellent option and is also in the area. What\u2019s more, a little bit further (but in a walking distance), you will find Grand Bazaar (keep in mind that the prices might be rather high as it is a very famous touristic attraction) while on the opposite direction, you can reach the Spice Market (where you should find more affordable prices) as well as the impressive Topkapi Palace.<\/span><\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=\"Image - Sultanahmet\" src=\"https:\/\/istanbul-international-airport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Istanbul-Blue-Mosque-Courtyard-Dusk600.jpg\" show_in_lightbox=\"off\" url_new_window=\"off\" use_overlay=\"off\" animation=\"off\" sticky=\"off\" align=\"center\" force_fullwidth=\"on\" always_center_on_mobile=\"on\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Taksim Square \" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Taksim Square <\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, Taksim is the modern city center of Istanbul along with a very popular destination for tourists. Taksim Square is impressive while nearby you will find Dolmabahce Palace. Istiklal Street is an endless pedestrian shopping street starting from Taksim Square. Dozens of retail shops, scenic cafes and traditional restaurants are scattered alongside the street and the famous \u201cNostalgic Tram\u201d is crossing the road giving a taste of the past to today\u2019s reality. At the other end of the street, you will also find Galata Tower, which offers an unbelievable view of the city.<\/span><\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=\"Image - Taksim Square\" src=\"https:\/\/istanbul-international-airport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/istanbul-taksim-square600.jpg\" show_in_lightbox=\"off\" url_new_window=\"off\" use_overlay=\"off\" animation=\"off\" sticky=\"off\" align=\"center\" force_fullwidth=\"on\" always_center_on_mobile=\"on\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Istanbul Ferry Tours\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Istanbul Ferry Tours<\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another alternative which will allow you to take a good look at Istanbul city without any tiredness and hassle is the popular ferry tours. Boats depart from several parts of the city and offer incredible rides through the Bosporus and Golden Horn. Get a glimpse from both Asian and European Istanbul with useful guides about the passing monuments and if you choose the respective boats, also enjoy a delicious meal on board.<\/span><\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=\"Image - Istanbul Ferry Tours\" src=\"https:\/\/istanbul-international-airport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Istanbul-ferry-tours600.jpg\" show_in_lightbox=\"off\" url_new_window=\"off\" use_overlay=\"off\" animation=\"off\" sticky=\"off\" align=\"center\" force_fullwidth=\"on\" always_center_on_mobile=\"on\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Conclusion\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, if you travel with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turkishairlines.com\/en-int\/flights\/stopover\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Turkish Airlines<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you should be aware that they usually offer free Istanbul tours to their passengers with long layovers at Istanbul new Airport.
