The travel guidance says there’s free transport/shuttle buses from the airport to Taksim, just need to show your match ticket.

Just checked in at a hotel near SAW, but am going to head back there tomorrow to head towards the stadium.  Any idea where those buses are going to be going from please?
Free travel is for the Metro line, sure it's public transport, go on the UEFA site it's got travel from the airports

Prince William is on his way. He hasn't confirmed which bars he's heading to yet.

Tracking my brothers flight from Luton. Just flew over the top of Rotterdam. A Wizzair pilot with a sense of humour/history?
Apparently Stan Collymore was on the same flight.

Alan Hutton and James Chester being mobbed by Aston Villa fans in Taksim Square are exactly the scenes you want to see.

Off another site For anyone who wants the free bus from SAW airport to Taksim, go out the main terminal across the road to the Havabus, don’t get on them unless you want to pay, it’s the yellow buses parked behind them
