The venue is surrounded by on-site car parks, which combined have the capacity for up to 18,900 cars.
Taxis can pick up and drop off on the roads surrounding the venue. However, please note that due to extensive congestion on event days – plus road closures around the stadium on such days – taxi journeys can take much longer than expected and are therefore not recommended.
Standard yellow taxis, or "Taksis," run on a meter and typically have a base fare of around €0.51, with a price per km of €0.32. Taxis from the airport are usually more expensive, and there are also turquoise or black cabs, which are more comfortable but are typically around 15% more or twice as expensive as yellow taxis, respectively.
Please note, private rideshare services such as Uber or Lyft are illegal in Turkey.
