Wheelchair-accessible entrance
An excellent, economical and less exhausting way to get up that oh so steep hill! With plenty of heritage involved. We had read about the Tunel and didn't think much about it - even walking past the bottom entrance thinking it meant a tunnel under the road! Just wonderful after a long walk. The best 3.5lira spent.

This funicular or 'tunel' is one of the oldest of its kind in the world. It is an easy way to go from Karaköy to Istiklal or other way around and skip those very steep streets. You can pay with the Istanbul card here and it rides every 5 minutes approximately. (From both Karaköy and Istiklal)
A nice shortcut in comparison to hill walking. The lower station is beautifully decorated, the tile work looks so cool. And of course it has a strong touch of history. A must-do in this city.
A real great tunnel, 145 years old at this point, under the sea.
The Tünel is still the shortest and easiest way to make the long haul up or down the steep hill between Karaköy and Beyoğlu. Such a short trip may seem pointless, but a quick 90-second trip will sure beat the steep 15 minute (at least) trek that you’d endure. Either enter from the lower station in Karaköy across from the Galata Bridge or enter the upper station in Beyoğlu at the end of Istiklal Street, on the opposite end from Taksim Square, just follow the Nostalgic Taksim-Tünel Tram. You pay with Istanbul’s public transportation card, an istanbulkart.
Beautifully restored short tunnel journey
One of the best experience, check more information in our youtube channel ( afshinvlogs )
Very cool place - great place to get from kadikoy back up to taksim without all the hills - very cost effective and is right in the middle of anything you could want to find!
