Directions

Arriving in Istanbul

Most air travellers arriving in Istanbul will land at Ataturk Airport, from where you can travel into the city by rental car, taxi or bus. Journey time is around 30 minutes. Travelling directly from Ataturk to Istanbul Park by road takes around one hour and special buses are available on race days.

Sabiha Gokcen International Airport is smaller and located further outside Istanbul, but is just four kilometres from Istanbul Park. Taxis and public transport can take you from Sabiha Gokcen to various destinations in and around Istanbul. On race days, special buses run from nearby Pendik to Istanbul Park.
