How to get there

Istanbul is easily reached by air. Many carriers offer budget flights, especially if you include a weekend in your stay. Most visitors will need a visa, which most nationalities can obtain for €10 on arrival at Ataturk International Airport. The distance from the airport to the Hilton Hotel is about 24 kilometres (15 miles). The best plan is to take a taxi. This will cost about 25,000,000 TRL ($20).
