How to Visit Mall of Istanbul from Mahmutbey

Mall of Istanbul stands on Süleyman Demirel Bulvarı in Mahmutbey, within the Başakşehir district of İstanbul. It opened on May 23, 2014. The mixed-use development includes residences, offices and the Hilton Mall of Istanbul hotel.

Its scale extends beyond shopping: the complex brings together MOİ Cadde, Pera Cadde, terraces, indoor and outdoor social areas, restaurants and cafés. A cinema, theater and theme park add other activities to the visit.

The metro route from Mahmutbey uses the M7, M3 and M9, with changes at Mahmutbey and İkitelli Sanayi. The M7 and M9 connect at Mahmutbey, and the M9 connects at İkitelli Sanayi; the mall is directly connected to the MASKO–Mall of Istanbul station.

1. Board the M7 for Mahmutbey station.
2. Transfer to the M3 and continue to İkitelli Sanayi.
3. Change to the M9 for MASKO–Mall of Istanbul, the station connected to the mall.

If you are planning other metro journeys around the hotel, this guide to using İSTOÇ and Mahmutbey stations covers those nearby stations.

You can also reach the mall by bus, minibus, taxi or car. It is near the TEM and Northern Marmara Motorways and the Mahmutbey tolls, and has 4,000 parking spaces across open and covered areas, as well as valet service.

Regular mall hours are 10:00–22:00 Sunday through Thursday and 10:00–22:30 Friday and Saturday. Hours may change during holidays and special periods, so check the official site before you go; for updated holiday hours, check the mall’s social media.

The MOİAPP offers a mall map, in-app directions to stores, free Wi-Fi, campaign and event information, and personalized offers. If you plan to use it, it can help you locate a shop once you are inside the complex.

For lost property, contact the information desk or email info@mallofistanbul.com.tr. Pets are permitted only when carried in a bag, on a visitor’s lap or in a pet carrier. Dog breeds identified as dangerous under Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Circular No. 2021/48 are not permitted.

The mall combines 470 stores with dining, entertainment and family facilities. Restaurants and cafés sit alongside MOİ Cadde and Pera Cadde, while terraces and indoor and outdoor social areas provide additional places to spend time between activities.

For entertainment, the complex has a cinema, theater and theme park. MOİPARK advertises rides such as roller coasters and giant swings, as well as a haunted hotel attraction. Families with infants can use the baby-care rooms.

Two prayer rooms are available: one on the Ground Floor and another on the 4th Floor. If you are pairing the mall with a separate attraction, a visit to Sea Life Istanbul has its own planning details.

For the return by metro, retrace the route through İkitelli Sanayi and Mahmutbey: take the M9 to the M3, then transfer to the M7. The M3 operates from 06:00–00:00, so check Metro İstanbul’s official information before setting out, especially if your visit may run late.

Keeping the return route in mind can help you decide when to leave the mall, particularly if you have spent time at MOİPARK, the cinema or the theater. If you are planning a broader city day, a one-day Old City route from Mahmutbey offers a different itinerary.
