About To Istanbul
Direct flights link Belgrade with Istanbul in about two hours. Long-distance coaches also make the journey via Sofia, taking most of a day or overnight, and you can go by rail with a change in Sofia for the nightly Sofia–Istanbul Express sleeper. Our sister guide, the ULTIMATE Istanbul City Guide, covers the city’s sights, food, meyhanes, hotels, hammams, the Bosphorus and the Princes’ Islands.
