This Formula 1 Istanbul package is built for fans who want the essentials of a Grand Prix weekend sorted in advance. Over four days and three nights (1-4 October 2027), you stay in central Istanbul, ride to Istanbul Park for qualifying and the main race, and return to the city each evening to enjoy dinner and nightlife on your own terms.
Istanbul Park lies on the Asian side of the city near Tuzla and Pendik, and it has earned a place in racing folklore thanks to its long, multi-apex Turn 8, a fast left-hander that pushes both drivers and tyres to their limits. The track hosted the Turkish Grand Prix from 2005 to 2011, came back to the calendar in 2020 and 2021, and the Turkish Grand Prix 2027 marks its eagerly awaited return to the championship.
Race weekend at the circuit is all about noise, speed and atmosphere: tense qualifying laps on Saturday, then the build-up, start and strategy battles of Sunday. With hotel and transfers handled, this F1 tour package lets you concentrate on the action. Please note that circuit admission is not included, so you choose and buy the ticket that suits you separately.
No sightseeing is built into this short programme, which keeps the price of your Istanbul tour focused on the race. If you want more, an optional Old City tour, a Bosphorus cruise or extra nights can be added to turn the weekend into a fuller Istanbul city break.

Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
