Match-day roads
On match and big event days, roads around Dolmabahçe Caddesi can be closed. For the UEFA final (20 May 2026), Dolmabahçe, Kadırgalar, the Bomonti–Dolmabahçe Tunnel, Taşkışla, Maçka and İnönü streets were closed from midday (Istanbul Municipality). Coming from the airport, we drop you outside the closed area.
Match and concert days: getting there and back by taxi
- For big matches and concerts the streets around the venue can be closed to traffic hours before. A taxi may not reach the gate; we agree a drop-off and meeting point outside the closed area.
- When the event ends, finding a taxi nearby is hard. Make a separate request for the return; we meet at an agreed point a little away from the crowd.
- Rail is often the fastest option, and the metro adds trains on match days. A taxi is easier if you come straight from the airport, carry luggage or return late at night.
- The fare is what the taximeter shows. Do not get into cars quoting a "fixed price" outside events.
