About T1 tram

The T1 tram runs from Kabataş along the Bosphorus to Karaköy, across the Galata Bridge to Eminönü and up through Sultanahmet, Beyazıt (for the Grand Bazaar) and on to the western districts. For most visitors it is the most useful line in the city; it gets very crowded at rush hour.

Why it's on our list

  • Stops at Sultanahmet
  • Eminönü and Karaköy
  • Busy at peak times

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with T1 tram before you go.
