Istanbul Stadium Transfer: Match-Day Private Transfers

Rams Park (Galatasaray) is in Seyrantepe, Sarıyer, just north of the Levent-Maslak business district beside the TEM motorway: 36 km and 39 minutes from Istanbul Airport, GET4S transfer from €64. From Sabiha Gökçen, Rams Park is 59 km and about 49 minutes, from €87. Tüpraş Stadium (Beşiktaş) stands in Dolmabahçe on the Bosphorus, next to Dolmabahçe Palace: 41 km and 44 minutes from Istanbul Airport, from €70; 40 km and up to 62 minutes in traffic from Sabiha Gökçen, from €70.

Ülker Stadium (Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu) is on the Asian side in Kızıltoprak, Kadıköy, and Sabiha Gökçen is the right airport for it: 31 km, 42 minutes, from €57. From Istanbul Airport, Ülker Stadium is 52 km and 55 minutes across the Bosphorus, from €84. The Atatürk Olympic Stadium in İkitelli, Başakşehir, is Türkiye's largest ground (about 75,000 seats): 32 km and 35 minutes from Istanbul Airport, from €57; 83 km and 71 minutes from Sabiha Gökçen, from €119. Every price is per vehicle and includes bridge, tunnel and motorway tolls.

Galatasaray play four UEFA Champions League league-phase matches at Rams Park: Barcelona (13 October 2026), Stuttgart (3 November 2026), Aston Villa (24 November 2026) and Feyenoord (19 January 2027). Fenerbahçe hosted Roma at Ülker Stadium in the Champions League (10 September 2026) and next welcome Slavia Praha (20 October 2026), Liverpool (4 November 2026) and Villarreal (20 January 2027). Beşiktaş beat Marseille 4-1 at Tüpraş Stadium in the UEFA Europa League (17 September 2026); their remaining home nights are Crystal Palace (22 October 2026), Hapoel Be'er Sheva (26 November 2026) and Union Saint-Gilloise (21 January 2027).

UEFA matches in Istanbul normally kick off at 22:00 local time (21:00 CET) or at 19:45; check the club and UEFA announcements for exact times and any date changes. This calendar is correct as of 21 September 2026. Süper Lig derbies between Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş are played at weekends through the season, with traffic around the stadium as heavy as on a European night; the Turkish Cup final and national team matches use the Atatürk Olympic Stadium.

The police close the roads around the stadium 2 to 3 hours before kick-off: Dolmabahçe Caddesi and the Beşiktaş waterfront for Tüpraş Stadium, the Seyrantepe link roads for Rams Park, the streets around Bağdat Caddesi for Ülker Stadium. Your GET4S driver brings the car to the nearest point the police allow, usually 300 to 800 m from the gates, and writes the drop-off and meeting point by WhatsApp to the phone number on your booking. Arriving 60 to 90 minutes before kick-off covers the cordon, the ticket check and security.

For the return, set the pickup time at least 30 to 45 minutes after the final whistle; leaving the ground and the police cordon take that long, and the driver waits at the same meeting point. A match that starts at 22:00 ends around 23:50; pickups between 22:00 and 06:00 carry a 20% night tariff, which the quote screen shows before you book. To go from the airport to the stadium and back to your hotel or the airport after the match, book a return: the return leg gets its own pickup time and the total price gets a 5% discount. If your flight is delayed the meeting time moves automatically at no extra cost.

Taksim and Beyoğlu hotels (Marmara, Hilton, InterContinental, Divan) are a 1.5 to 2 km walk from Tüpraş Stadium, 11 km and 22 minutes from Rams Park (from €40), 15 km and 23 minutes from Ülker Stadium across the bridge (from €40) and 34 km and 38 minutes from the Atatürk Olympic Stadium (from €60). Sultanahmet and the Old City hotels are 8.5 km and 21 minutes from Tüpraş Stadium (from €40), 14 km and 20 minutes from Ülker Stadium through the Eurasia Tunnel (from €40) and 20 km and 31 minutes from Rams Park (from €44).

If you want to sleep next to the ground, the closest hotels to Rams Park are the business hotels of Levent and Maslak (Wyndham Grand Levent, the Hilton Maslak area), to Tüpraş Stadium the Bosphorus hotels of Beşiktaş (Swissôtel The Bosphorus, Ritz-Carlton, Shangri-La, Four Seasons Bosphorus, Çırağan Palace) and to Ülker Stadium the Kadıköy and Kalamış hotels (Wyndham Grand Kalamış Marina, DoubleTree Moda, Hilton Kozyatağı). Type the hotel name in the booking and the driver collects you at the door at the agreed time. Groups of 4 to 6 take a Mercedes Vito, supporter groups of 7 to 16 a Sprinter minibus; the price is per vehicle.

The metro reaches all the grounds: M2 Seyrantepe for Rams Park (change at Sanayi Mahallesi from Taksim), the Kabataş tram and funicular stop for Tüpraş Stadium (600 m), Marmaray Söğütlüçeşme and Kızıltoprak for Ülker Stadium (a 5 to 10 minute walk) and M3 Olimpiyat for the Atatürk Olympic Stadium. For a supporter arriving from the airport the problem is the changes and the luggage: the M11 metro from Istanbul Airport ends at Gayrettepe and at least one more change is needed to reach a stadium, and after the match the metro and the surrounding roads stay busy for 45 to 60 minutes. A taxi runs on the meter and the total is unpredictable in match-night traffic; Istanbul Airport to Rams Park costs about €40 by taxi without traffic, cordon and waiting not included.

For some European fixtures visiting supporters are moved in police-escorted coaches: fans gather at a central meeting point (usually Gezi Park in Taksim for Galatasaray matches) and travel to the ground in convoy. In that case the GET4S transfer runs from the airport to your hotel and from the hotel to the meeting point; check your club's supporter information before booking. With a private transfer the price is fixed in advance, the driver speaks English, your luggage stays in the car and you can go straight to the airport after the match.
