Under the Bosphorus by train

About Marmaray

The Marmaray commuter railway runs in a tunnel beneath the Bosphorus between Sirkeci on the European side and Üsküdar on the Asian side, as part of a long line from Halkalı to Gebze. It is a quick way to cross continents and connects with the metro at Yenikapı and Üsküdar, and with long-distance trains at Halkalı and Pendik.

Why it's on our list

  • Tunnel under the Bosphorus
  • Sirkeci, Üsküdar, Yenikapı
  • Halkalı to Gebze

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Marmaray before you go.
