About this transfer
Heading to the Asian side of Istanbul brings you across to the district of Üsküdar. If you are arranging an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Capitol AVM transfer, our driver meets you inside the terminal with a name board and assists with your bags. The vehicle is reserved entirely for your party, so you head straight to the mall entrance without intermediate stops.
The route follows the D-020, covering 53 km from the European side into Üsküdar. Under typical conditions, the direct drive takes 56 minutes. Around the peak evening rush, however, the journey across the city can extend to 73 minutes.
Reaching the destination by public transit requires taking the M11 subway to Gayrettepe, catching the 522 bus toward Kısıklı, and completing the trip on the C57-Kadıköy-Atakent bus. That journey involves two changes along the way and includes walking between the respective stops. The total travel time on the transit route comes to 88 minutes.
A private transfer provides a direct door-to-door drive from the terminal arrivals hall straight to Capitol AVM. We track your incoming flight for any schedule adjustments and include waiting time should your arrival run late. The fixed rate covers the whole vehicle, letting your group travel together directly to the shopping center doors.
