Practical Travel Information
Public Transportation
Istanbul has an extensive public transportation network including metro, tram, bus, Metrobus, Marmaray commuter rail and ferries.
For participants planning to use public transportation regularly, obtaining an İstanbulkart can be convenient. It can be used on metro, tram, buses, Metrobus, Marmaray and ferries.
The İstanbulkart is widely used for public transportation and can be purchased and topped up at ticket machines and authorised sales points throughout the city. Contactless credit and debit cards can also be used on many public transportation services.
Useful Travel Note
Istanbul is a large metropolitan city, and travel times can vary considerably depending on traffic and the time of day. Participants are therefore advised to allow additional travel time, particularly when travelling to the conference venue during morning and evening peak hours.
