TRAINS

Train routes are very limited in Istanbul. They are useful for residents but not very interesting for visitors. There are two main routes:

1. Sirkeci - Kumkapi - Zeytinburnu - Bakirkoy - Yesilkoy - Kanarya - Halkali

2. Haydarpasa - Bostanci - Kartal - Pendik - Tuzla - Gebze

 

METRO

Istanbul is one to the first cities to build an underground railway. This short route built in 1800's is still working between Karakoy and Beyoglu. However Istanbul metro did not expand as it started and today there is only a small underground and tramcar network. The routes are:

1. Karaköy - Tunel (old metro)

2. Taksim - Aga Camii - Galatasaray - Odakule - Tunel (historic tramcar)

3. Aksaray - Ulubatli - Bayrampasa - Kartaltepe - Esenler

4. Aksaray - Ulubatli - Bayrampasa - Otogar - Merter - Atakoy - Y. Bosna

5. Eminonu - Gulhane - Beyazit - Yusufpasa- Topkapi - Zeytinburnu
