Public transport Istanbul

Below are the main lines of the visits that can be made to Istanbul.

Towards Saint-Sauveur-in-Chora. From Taksim, 77MT (Edirnekapı) and 87 (Edirnekapı).

From Eminönü to the Golden Horn. The 47 (Yeşilpınar) and 47Ç (Güzeltepe) completely follow the shoreline to miniatürk.

Sarıyer-Kilyos (151). To the northwest, the seaside district. Bus 40 from Sariyer and then take a dolmuş.

Üsküdar-Beykoz (15 or 15E). Near the mosque. A little over an hour. Kuzguncuk, Beylerbeyi, Çengelköy, Vaniköy, Küçüksu, Kanlıca

There are two funiculars in Istanbul, with the same fare as other transportation in the city and which make the same trip between Kabataş and Taksim :

Funicular: very convenient. It connects the Zeitinburnu-Kabataş streetcar line with Taksim.

Tünel or "Old Metro". It is the second oldest subway in the world (1871) after London's, and it is still in operation. It was built by the Frenchman Eugene Henri Gavand to connect the city's business districts. It avoids the Galata slope and runs until late at night.

The Marmaray is a metro that runs under the Bosphorus and connects the two continents in just 7 minutes, avoiding traffic jams. It serves the stations of Kazlıçeşme, Yenikapi, Sirkeci, Üsküdar and Ayrılık Çeşmesi (Kadiköy). Very practical if you are in Sirkeci and want to drink a salep quickly, while admiring Léandre d'Üsküdar's tower. The company in charge of this metro being different, you will have to pay a passage to the turnstiles to access it. The Istanbulkart card does not work here, so be prepared.
