How do I get to the studio?
Studio location
The studio is on the Asian side of Istanbul, in Üsküdar. The pier sits in Üsküdar's old center. The studio is a short walk from there. Your booking email has the exact meeting point and a map link sent the day before, so navigation is set without you tracking a long address.
How to get to Istanbul Workshops by ferry
The ferry to Üsküdar is the most pleasant route. It runs from Eminönü and Beşiktaş with frequent crossings. The ride is about 15 to 20 minutes and works with an Istanbulkart. The ferry also gives you a Bosphorus view at no extra cost. Many guests leave 15 minutes early to enjoy the ride.
Metro and bus options
The M5 metro line runs to Üsküdar; the station sits near the pier. From the station the walk to the meeting point is short. Several Marmaray and bus routes also serve Üsküdar; the booking email's map link supports any route choice. The metro is the fastest land option from the European side via the network.
Studio directions istanbul taxi route
For studio directions istanbul guests using a taxi: ask the driver for "Üsküdar meydanı" and we route the rest from the meeting point. Show the map link from your booking email if there is any confusion. Traffic on weekday afternoons is heavy; the ferry is faster door to door if Bosphorus traffic is congested.
Walking from the meeting point
The walk from the meeting point to the studio is a few minutes. The route is flat and on regular sidewalks. We meet you at the meeting point and walk together. There is no separate gate code or building access for you to manage. The studio team handles building access on the day.
If you are running late
Send a quick message via our contact page or call the studio number if you are running late. We hold the spot. If your delay pushes the start past the demo, the guide adjusts the pace so you do not miss the core of the session.
Driving and parking
Driving to Üsküdar is possible, but parking is limited near the pier. A few small public lots sit within walking distance. The ferry is usually the simpler choice for a workshop day. If you drive, plan an extra 15 to 20 minutes for parking and a short walk to the meeting point.
