Tuzla at a glance
Tuzla is a coastal district on Istanbul's Asian side, close to the border with Kocaeli province. It is known as one of Turkey's major shipbuilding areas, and the shipyards along its shore, organised industrial zones and logistics facilities play a large role in its economy. Tuzla also has a marina and seaside walking areas, the Sabancı University campus and the Istanbul Park circuit, which hosts motorsport events.
Many visitors to Tuzla come for a factory, shipyard or university visit, so it is important to include the company or institution name and, if known, the gate in your booking. At large industrial sites, the visitor entrance may differ from the main gate. If you are attending an event at the race circuit, bear in mind that surrounding roads can be busy on event days.
