TRAVEL GUIDE

ONE CITY VERY DIFFERENT MATCHDAY BASES

Istanbul's 2027 football calendar is spread across both sides of the Bosphorus. The Spanish Super Cup uses Chobani Stadium, Tüpraş Stadium and RAMS Park, while the UEFA Conference League final is at Tüpraş Stadium. That makes neighborhood choice a transport decision as much as a hotel decision.

For a single match, staying on the same side of the city can simplify the day. For a multi-match trip, a central base with good rail or ferry connections can be more useful than being next to only one venue.

COMPARE YOUR OPTIONS

MAKE THE LOCATION WORK FOR THE TRIP

01

BEŞİKTAŞ

The natural base for the Conference League final and the Spanish Super Cup semi-final at Tüpraş Stadium. Strong Bosphorus atmosphere and useful links toward Taksim and Kabataş.

02

TAKSİM

A flexible central option for visitors balancing football with sightseeing. The F1 funicular connects Taksim with Kabataş, where ferry and tram connections broaden your options.

03

KARAKÖY

Useful for the historic peninsula, Galata and waterfront transport. It is a city-first base rather than a stadium-first one, which suits longer stays.

04

KADIKÖY

The strongest base for the Chobani Stadium semi-final and Asian-side nightlife. Sabiha Gökçen Airport also connects to Kadıköy via the M4 metro corridor.

KEEP EXPLORING

BUILD THE TRIP AROUND THE FINAL

Final-specific transport, crowd-control and supporter-routing measures can change. Re-check official organizer and local transport information before travel.
